Spoke to a mechanic now and he thinks it is the oxygen sensor but not sure if it would be the front or back one. Could be that is why my milage has been so poor since I bought it 250 miles to the tank.

Going to pick up some oil for the oil change and anti freeze .... anything special I need to know that it takes? What weight oil should I use? He also asked me what type of anti freeze (I didnt know there were different types)
Was told to use 5w20 oil and green anti freeze, took the vehicle down to Mits dealership and the MAF sensor was disconnected. Took them only about half an hour to fix it and they siad looked like someone was playing with the idle screw. Anyways the good news is that my vehicle is running again properly for under 100.00.

umm something is wrong here.. if your only getting 250 per tank.... i get 225-250 per tank and im boosted.. and i hit it often... so soemthing is wrong you should be getting around 300-325-350 per tank if your stock.. thats what i got around thats when i like 25 miles per gallon at 14 gallons. change your oil to syn 10-w30? change your air filter.. make sure your tires are inflated to the psi... i noticed but i cant prove it.. fill your tank at half way.. its better and i got a couple more mph out of it.. idk why but thats what I noticed on my car.

I put in syn oil, change my air filter and check my tires 28 and 32 psi like the manual. Guess that is all I can do I just have to live with what I get now.
