Mileage

I've been thinking about this for a while and I mentioned it to UBG the other night
My 3.4 [1995 Camaro 3.4L v6] has only been getting 15-18mpg something's up.. or is it?
UBG mentioned O2 sensors, my SES light is on but i haven't been able to scan it b/c i don't know of anyone that can


ideas?

Without knowing the codes it may be o2s. You also want to check the coolant temp. A lot of fuel mileage issues show up in the cold weather due to the coolant temp being low. Dont trust the guage use a scan tool or thermometer.
