My caravan has 152,000 kms. The fuel mileage is horrible, I get like 300 kms per tank and I used to get 550-600kms per tank. I have changed the oil, the spark plugs, air filter. Now I was told the o2 sensors are probably the cause. Any suggestions??

Thank you very much

first is there a "check engine" light on, if so the o2 censor could be your problem

With the new ethanol mixed
gas mileage went down and fuel price going up and up

Not every check engine light caused by an o2 sensor
you need to have it checked for codes
or you can do the key cycle to retrieve the codes
check fuel filler cap
check for fuel leak
check wires
check o2 sensors
and the list goes on and on
codes will help pin point the troubled area and the cause
let me know
