My scanner can show fuel trim and O2 sensor voltage levels - what O2 sensor values should I be looking for that might indicate a degraded O2 sensor? 96,000 miles on the clock.
I was running 7-10% rich on LTFT, after a valve adjustment I'm getting 0-2% rich. My gas mileage isn't great (18mpg average, city, top down, A/C, hilly driving) but it isn't terrible either (eeked out 28mpg averaging 75mph on a road trip, top up, A/C on).

What $200 sensor? Just get the $90 denso one from rock auto, works like a charm.

19 isn't that bad. City driving semi-aggressive that would be normal. I have seen 16 miles per gallon consistently if I beat the crap out of the car and I average about 24 right now

Is it laziness to actually read even a few posts down, or is it poor reading comprehension? Whatever it is it seems to be all too common.

Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus has increased my gas mileage by about 1-2 mpg on multiple cars, s2000 included.
have you checked your tire pressure and alignment?

I took some snapshots of my primary O2 sensor readings while idling, trying to catch 30 sec increments. The second one looks a little wonky, and everything I'm reading says there should be one cross-count per second. Replace?
