I have a 2002 SL1 standard with over 74,000 Km already. I experienced a
significant drop in fuel economy a few months ago before having the recommended emissions cleaning done by the dealer. The economy was immediately restored. I just did some mostly highway travelling of over 1000 Kms in 4 days and used less than 2 tankfuls of gas (about $45 Cdn). Also note I drive my car hard much of the time. I laugh at my friends who spend a fortune on gas with their 2L standard 2002 Neon compared to my Saturn. Stuart "Shawn" > wrote in message ... > I had replaced my o2 sensor on mine.
