Damn, that's a guzzler!
If it helps, I'm sure my O2s have 190k on them(I'm replacing things for the first time on my car, really impressive imo) and my mpg is around 24-26 mixed.

If sensors are anything like the MAF, it might take a full tank of driving in mixed conditions until the car readapts and works at optimum efficiency. I feel like I’ve done everything there is to do in the 8k miles of driving the car: plugs, tubes/vacuum lines, lower intake boot, air filter, fuel filter, disa o-ring, MAF, purge valve, VANOS, misc. vacuum leaks, calipers, multiple oil changes + ceratec... looked into doing the fuel pump as well but it only has like 25k miles on it. Anyway, we’ll see!

106k miles
wow haven't posted here in a while, but I just tacked a pretty big project so I figured I would document it here
Parts replaced:
-Oil + filter (Liqui Moly & Mann)
-Power steering reservoir fluid refresh (i do this with every oil change)
-Cabin and Engine Air Filters
-Windshield wipers
-Trunk shocks (they were no longer lifting the trunk and made the typical whining noise when opening and closing)
-R side bumper/fender liner. My brother drove over a curb and trashed the plastic trim piece. In doing so, he also broke the internal bracket on my bumper, so I did some plastic welding and realigned the bumper, and it is almost perfect.
-Cleaned my guide pins and regreased my pads to get rid of a persistent rubbing sound from my front brakes. We will see if that fixed it.
-My driver-side xenon went out randomly, and after doing some trouble shooting, i narrowed it down to a bad ballast. Ordered one over ebay, and it still didn't work. I then found the culprit: a broken wire in the headlight housing. Spliced it back and taped it, and we are all good. I was even able to return the ballast which was nice.
-Fixed the rattle coming from my subwoofer. The white long plastic piece came unglued from the overlying rear dash, and i learned it actually a whole for a screw, so I secured it from the bottom and stuffed a couple more tennis balls in there to make sure it never rattles again.
Tackled my cooling system as well, since my thermostat has failed (stuck open) and the water pump and radiator are original:
- Thermostat (Mahle)
- Water pump (Saleri)
- Radiator (Nissens)
- A/T thermostat (chinese)
- New o-rings; hoses seem in good shape
My expansion tank and a/t thermostat only had 30k miles, but even with careful removal of the ET, i still broke the thermostat, so i got next day delivery on amazon prime and will just replace it with an oem piece next time i have to touch the ET.

Hopefully I can recoup some of the cost by selling the old radiator and water pump. I was actually surprised you can get a brand new Nissens radiator for only ~$70

Wasn’t able to find an OE Modine radiator, but I got my stuff from FCP Euro, and sometimes their parts are a little more expensive, which is maybe justified by their lifetime warranty.
$79 at FCP, so I assume you could find it cheaper elsewhere.
