First tank looks promising. I drove from Pittsburgh to Baltimore without stopping and averaged 52.7 on the tank for 410 miles. Keep in mind this is with a 96 civic cx transmission rather than the stock Vx transmission.

Overall the car seems to perform about the same as with the aftermarket sensor. I am still feeling some misfiring like jerking at heavy load in lean burn as before with the aftermarket sensor and still have some hiccups at idle when hot.

The only benefits I have seen so far is the oem sensor transitions in and out of lean burn so smoothly I can't feel it and have to watch my mpguino to know if it has happened. It also seems to run more consistently than before


I still cannot determine if it is worth spending $425 on vs the $100 sensor. I'll keep updating as I log fill ups.
