+cel = 20% Mpg

Something weird happened; my CEL came on about a 10 days ago or so and I immediately noticed my MPG go up.

Confirmed by two fills, 50 - 60 miles more per tank. Or in kilometers, about 100Km. or a boost of 2.5 mpg...

No difference in power, In fact, I'd be inclined to say it's more responsive and more power.

I don't know what happened but I don't think I'm going to fix it.

Mabe I'll go get the code read tomorrow and make sure he doesn't clear it.

Remember an overly lean condition can wreck an engine if left unchecked. I would look into the situation. My first guess is either the o2 sensor or the EGR valve.
