Butt-dyno reports a slight improvement in coasting ability, but I'm not trusting anything from Torque until I can get the PRO version and get it calibrated, once I get the O2 sensor replaced. Got it ordered today so hopefully I can get that changed out and get my MPGs back. Taking a 19% deduction from Torque numbers my tank is sitting at ~43 MPG (~53 MPG indicated on Torque) and that's with half of my driving so far with not really caring about FE lol. But the other half I've been hypermiling and P&G-ing like crazy.

Doesn't P&G-ing negate some of the losses from the O2 sensor since it's just accelerating and coasting, not actual cruising? wistful look

My battery is also going so I'm keeping my car plugged in. I'm NOT going to spend $100 on a new battery lol. Battery works if I don't go more than 2 days without driving (when I bought it I could go almost a week). Geez with all of this I might've just bought a $1000 toyota echo beater and ecomodded that thing up....but then again it's my first car so maybe I'm just complaining about the normal stuff lol.

I'm probably going to start filling up at the halfway mark so I don't risk going a whole tank with bad FE lol (who would've thought 40+ MPG was a bad tank lol but I'm spoiled). Tanks are lasting me forever since I don't drive THAT much.
