I have a 1995 S10 2.2 LS, I have 102,000 miles, auto tranny. I have noticed recently that my gas mileage has dropped down to about 12-13mpg. It usually gets 16 or so. I have new plugs, wires, head gasket, good compression, fuel filter, air filter. What could be the possible problems here to correct this or even get it up to 20 or 24mpg? Thanks for the help!

chances are your o2 sensor is probably gone or wore out. You should find out how much one cost for your truck. Probably $20.

Yeah I replaced that about 2 months ago

could be your driving style, tire pressure, raise your windows, type of engine oil.......

you might want to take it to a dealer to do a diagnostic. i think its like 40 bucks, but it'll tell you whats wrong for sure

:stupid:
Does Your truck "backfire" or "rough"when accelerating? Might be Your ignition coil, but best bet is to get it diagnosed.

what size tire are you running? check you're tranny fluid level.

Figured it out, the SES light came on today, it was an EGR code and I also noticed a power loss as well. So. I took off the Cat, punched it out, put it back on... runs great and more bottom end.

So you normally get about 16mpg i thought maybe something was wrong with mine cause thats all i get in town

Yea Ever sice i had the truck i only got about 16 to a gallon and not much more on the highway. Ive heard that its just luck of the draw with the 2.2 if u get one that is good or one that isnt.
