If the car’s fuel mileage is really that bad it should be running like utter garbage, suffering a lousy idle, and belching black smoke.  
So does it run fine, sort of fine, or like carp? (sic)

I have a question. You tested the O2 and it’s allegedly working fine. So if this engine is inhaling gasoline like no tomorrow then how does this overwhelmed O2 manage to function at all?
