DPFE Sensor

I have just repalced my dpfe sensor $203.00 only 63000 on my escape I was suprised at how much it messed up my gas milage
I was getting 240 miles to a tank of gas now I get 273 miles and it took 13.134 gal to fill up this morning my service engine soon light was on and this was the problem all this time I thought it was the bigger tires I put on it making me get less gas milage
I have 235/75/r15's on there instead of the factory 225/70/r15 that come on it.

Your tires are still causing the odometer to under report your mileage by 5.4%. I went to 235/75/15s also.

Just as an FYI, I'm running Yokohama Avid Touring tires (235/75/15). I prefer the bigger tire and since they're not allterrains, most road noise is removed.
