I know this is going to sound strange, but I asked recently about my check
engine light being on and how to correct it. Well, my gas mileage has gone
UP. According to my calculations I am now getting 19.2 MPG whereas I used to
only get 15-17 MPG. Could it be true? I got 314 miles on my last tank of
gas, divide that by the 16.25 gallons. I'm confused!?! But yet I am NOT
complaining, if the light is on and somethings broke well then I like it
broke! It can stay broke for all I care if this MPG keeps up.

So, any idea as to what has happened?

Engine purrrs like a kitten, no smoke, no odors.No loss of power, Nothing
else amiss. Engine only has 90000 miles on it. I believe the engine light on
is the O2 sensor, going to verify that this week.
