Hey Talero,

The EPA numbers for our 2003 Ecotec automatics were 24/33 (thanks for the correction on this Cliff8928!).

My shot in the dark is that once you get that pre-cat 02 sensor fixed, you should get out of the dismal teens for MPGs. and hopefully at *least* get what I am getting in 70/30 suburban/highway driving- about 21.8.

I did a granny run 2 weeks ago- all highway, minimal traffic, about a 70 MPH average, and got a carefully measured 27 MPG- a record for me.

It does seem everyone has noted the last half of the tank goes faster than the first half due to gas gauge design.

Let us know how it turns out.
