    The 97 is my original GP, replaced by the 00 when the body fell off the old one... Both driven by me.
    The GPs are long gone...

    In this hot muggy missouri summer weather, and the crummy 10% Ethanol that seems to be seeping it's way into all the gasoline here....I've been averaging a best of 22 this summer. I'm not happy at all, but it's the best I can do with what I've got.

    Bone stock. DIC is close enough to my math to be considered in the ballpark. I still get a random sulfur smell from the cat, so I suspect that it's the main culprit, though the dealer won't touch it until it throws a code...

    How about unplugging the downstream O2 sensor for a bit? (No access to a tuner)
