Hi,

The 02 sensor provides info to the engine computer so the computer can fine
tune the fuel/air ratio.

The engines were set up from the factory to run on the rich side until  the
02 sensor warmed up and started working.

So most likely you are running a little rich. I haven't heard of anyone
having problems running this way....

Your gas mileage is as good as mine.

Bye,

85GL w/02 sensor and digitool read-out of it's operation.
