A few weeks ago got if I remember correctly, a P0153 error code. Upstream sensor on Bank 2 fail.
At the time I received advise on this site, which suggested I go ahead and change them all. The car is an 06 Touring with around 140k.
This van was purchased used on 2012 in showroom condition and since I am retired and not going to put a lot of miles on it, it seemed the right choice.
All sensors were replaced, PCM reset and learn procedure done.
Problem, and even though this Ody never got as much mpg's as my 99 Ody, used to get no more than 20/21 mpg but now, 16...
Any ideas what I should look for? Thank you all

Well, my 06 Ody Touring gets 11.3 mpg on local roads.

My 06 Ody always gets lower gas mileage in colder weather, my tires were also under inflated , did you perform your own work or did a shop do it ? But since this occurred right after changing out the sensors you might want to have the shop double check their work.

What was your mileage before you replaced the sensors?

Right around 20, the highest I ever got was 22 full tank hgwy driving

What brand sensors were installed? There are only certain brands that work.

With the $5 Torque app and an Android phone, you can measure air-fuel ratio (around 14.7), and long and short term fuel trim. If these are OK, look for a clogged cat or dragging brakes. Use google for causes of poor mpg.

Note,the Android phone doesn't have to be active with a cell phone company. Just something sitting in your desk draw.

Reset PCM?

Reset PCM?

yes, and now a few days later, I got 19mpg still on my regular routine... Going to try and see through the next couple of fill ups. Will try to get some more fuel trims info.

Gas mileage on our 2010 LX dropped to 16 mpg from low 20's, Had the spark plugs replaced with Bosch Iridium plugs and noticed an immediate increase in power, mileage now mid 20's.

You guys have to remember about winter/summer fuel blend changes.

You got a serious problem, no way you can get 11 MPG. I don't even get that worst of gas mileage.

I Just got 26.487 MPG 90% on level Highway driving , 10% city driving , most on cruise control on 200 mile trip. VCM not disabled . I also always get 22/23 ish in mixed driving with tires properly inflated, winter MPG a tad lower. Properly inflated tires, clean Air filter , routine maintenence do make a big difference.
