    So my del sol was getting about 30-32 miles a gallon, and i wasn't driving conservativily and now im getting 26 mpg drive the same as usual.(its been about a month since i got it)

    If i drive conservativily i barely get 29
    any ideas.


    Also my car has CEL, when i got in a car accident i think my radiator over heated and i think thats the cause, but i got a new radiator and its still there.

    Its still yellow, but im concerned. Anyone know how to figure out what it is?

    Well first off... check your CEL code. Are you sure it was your radiator or did you just assume? If it was for sure then obviously it's somewhere else. Try replacing your O2 sensor. Even if it may not throw a code it may be on it's way out or not sending enough signal to the ECM. Would explain that rather small drop in mileage.
