Learned something, thought I'd share
Took a 300+ mile trip to the west coast, got back home, shortly there after ran out of gas long before I should have. Filled it up, and the fuel light came on way too soon. Filled it again, and found I was down from 45 MPG to 40 MPG. Drove me nuts trying to figure out why. Have pipes, AC, and PCIII USB. Finally hit me, I checked, and one of the O2 sensor by-pass caps had fallen off. DUH. Sure made a difference in fuel mileage.
