Default I dont know

I drive in town a lot. I guess thats what does it. I dont really know. I removed the maf screen, maybe thats what it is. I got an ses light when i had cats and rear o2s. I took it to the dealer and they said it said i had a bad 02 sensor. He checked the readings and said it was ok. I dont know if i wire got pinched with the trans or what. Now ive got 02 sims and no cats the light is still on. Id thought about trying new sensors. Ive got 113000 on these but i dont wanna buy more if these are ok and its only a pinched or nicked wire. I dont know what the deal is, its been like that for 2 yrs!

I get 16-17 with mild city driving, 19-20 on the highway. Your 16-17 sounds about right
