Really depends on a number of things. Do you have any codes?Quote:

And the most important one:
Non-fuel efficient driving (driving style)

Interesting! I know for sure my o2 sensors are originals, at 137k. How do they cause bad mileage? Providing an incorrect Fuel/Air mixture?Quote:

The winter fuel blend also result in fewer MPGs vs. summer blend. Nice that regular is $1.88 & premium $2.18 currently!
Yes, the O2 sensors are very sensitive pieces of equipment. They help with adjusting for air/fuel mixture.Quote:

Acceleration also feels funky; sometimes it's a little choppy. Here is a video I took on accelerating on to an on-ramp. 3rd gear, 45 mph to almost 75 mph took that amount of time.

Replacing my O2 sensors allows me to at least maintain 25-26 mpg, even with the clogged cat.
It doesn't make that much of a difference with a well running vehicle, in my experience.Quote:

No lights on dashboard so no codes that I’m aware of. Car drives fine and the same way since i got it so just confused as to what it could be. Turns out there are various reasons for it. I’m pretty sure previous owner did spark plugs but o2 sensors I believe are original.Quote:

Which O2 sensors should be replaced? precat or post cat? Is it a pretty easy job?
Pre-cat. Yep it’s easy. They are right on top of the manifold
Aw man I’m paying close 4 bucks a gallon for 91 octane. And that’s CA 91 which is diluted with ethanol -_-.Quote:
