New, 95 civic vx

[matthewtanner]

I'm new to the mpg world, I own a 95 civic vx, need to replace o2 sensor, live in lexington ky, and I'm in the Army. Other than that, just a normal dude looking to save some pennies.

Welcome!

You've got a perfect car to start saving with. The O2 sensor is a common issue on the lean burn cars. What kind of mileage have you been getting before joining the site and w/ O2 sensor issues?

I also own a 95 VX. Just with driving mods alone expect 55-60mpg. Get a MPGuino and a few small mods and you will be 60+. Welcome.

my first tank since owning the car ( I bought it a week ago) was at 40 mpg. Hoping to get the MPGuino, and a new o2 sensor, maybe a kill switch and start getting some of these higher numbers i keep hearing about.

Cool, If the seller was Troy I sold him the ecu for that car. glad to see its saying in the Eco community.

[matthewtanner]

It was Troy! I'm led to believe the Ecu is working great, I believe he needed it to fix the AC, it works great!

Excellent. He sent me some pics of it while he had it for sale. Looked like a clean car for the mileage. Def worth what he was asking.

Be careful when buying a new 02. The cheap ones tend to stumble/throw engine lights for some cars. Just a heads up if you haven't read about it already. Tons of lean burn cars and info on this site

yea, seems like the ntk 243000 is the cheapest one that'll get the job done. 180 isn't to bad i guess.
