    Replaced MAF sensor last week and check engine light went off.

    Still the the upstream O2 sensor is bad reading at 00.00

    Will this effect gas mileage?

    My truck is a Toyota Tacoma 2002

    What kind of gas mileage can I expect from this truck?

    From a full tank to empty? Would think around 320 miles to a tank and would be happy.

    Anyone?

    The first sensor your A/F sensor. It is what the ECU uses in it’s process to get the best mpg and power possible, and to get the A/F ratio as close to 14.7 as possible. If it isn’t working, the engine is going to go into a pre-set fuel map that will be extremely rich. You’ll have no power or mpg

    Have a V6 3.4

    And currently, getting around 122 miles on a half tank, So 244 miles to a tank ?? That's a bit low. 13 miles to a gallon and i'm very easy on the gas.

    I also have a 2006 Toyota 4 runner V6 and I get 338 miles to a tank so something is not right with my Tacoma.
