Wify's hasn't reset the DIC in her LS for many many months now and its reading 33.7...I check it when I check her oil percentage. Last time I peeked she had 312 miles and was above the half mark on gas.Asked her how far she gets and got the usual..I don't know.

To give you an update. I now have 3200 miles on the odo and took a trip today, freeway driving and averaged 34.2 Yahoo!!!!. I do think the flexfuel sensor has something to do with the poorer mileage, because a blend of ethanol is in most fuels now. Does anyone know how to remove the sensor or what to recommend as far as a gas additive goes? Half of my tank was Chevron Premium without the ethanol, and dropped lower when I put the blend in it. Thanks...
