Fuel consumption. I have noticed that my fuel consumption has increase since the time I bought the car at zero km. Its at 110k and all I have is a CAI installed everything else is OEM. What do you all recommenda? Do I need a tune up, or relace O2 sensors? or anything else? |
check tire inflation, maybe an alignment if it's been 20k plus miles, spark plugs are cheap and might help, drive slower, drop weight. about all i got :) |
Spark plugs are not cheap. Although I agree with everything else said. At 110K your supposed to have your first scheduled tune up. |
Alignment I need but its not that bad since my steering wheel is centered and my tires thread are in good shape. I usually cruse and dont kill the pedel. I went to the mechanic to ask if I need a tune up since my gas consumption has increase and he recommends replacing the O2 sensor. Does that make any sense? |
doesnt honda recommend a complete tune-up at 60k miles? ive read in motor trend magazines where they advertise a boucsh o2 oxygen sensor, supposely lets your car "breathe" better and get more miles out of it... no idea if its false advertising or what. |
hmm ... how heavy are your rims? are they stock? replace spark plugs ... replace air filter |
cheap is relative, plugs are $2-$15 and i find that cheap if your o2 sensor was not functioning, you'd have a CEL. for cars i've bought those for, it's been around $100. i wouldn't replace it unless it really isn't working |

That stuff about letting your car breather better is BS too. |

look at my profile. My gas mileage is the highest its ever been since I bought the car, sometimes upto 42mpg. Use fp60 fuel cleaner from lubecontrol.com for starters. Then replace all the maint stuff. |
