As far as things to do, it's actually best case for a vehicle to just sit on the highway like that. Usually really goo for it. I'd clear the o2 code and see if it returns. otherwise, don't worry about it. Other stuff only needs to be done as scheduled, rotating tires with the next oil change, changing the oil at the next normal interval. Nothing that should specifically need to be done unless it's a result of something you noticed or a problem you ran into.

I've got to ask, did you listen to any of the music I threw out there? Like any of it?

How many gallons were you putting in at each fill? I'm curious as to your MPG's. It's possible you were trucking into / with the wind, on the way down/back up. that could affect the mileage a lot. Other things would be elevation, cruise speed, etc.

Just throwing it out there, I use the gasbuddy app to find the cheapest gas around. It's invaluable, and has saved me hundreds of dollars. Makes a big difference if 5 miles down the road you can save 50 cents a gallon. Adds up over time.

You've made me a fan of Glitch Mob, I bought the drink the sea album and wow, great music to ride too..I really like the sound how to be eaten by a woman.... Mind blowing.. I haven't checked out the others yet, but please let me know of other music you listen too... I love knowing the kind of music other people listen to...

Thanks for the info, yes come to think of it, it was a very windy day, so that explains it for sure. I have never used gas buddy, I will down load it for sure

That truly makes sense for sure... It was very windy for sure... I didn't take that into factor

Gltich mob was my true intro to appreciating electronic music. There's masterpiece levels of intricacy in each and every one of those songs. If you get a chance, listening to it in REALLY bass heavy settings can be pretty cool. In college I had these awesome home/ studio speakers for our house with twin 12" subs, and that did the job. A lot of undertones that you almost feel more than hear. Really cool stuff. I don't like their newer stuff as much.
If you liked that, definitely give Porter Robinson's album "worlds" a try. A bit "brighter" electronmic, but still really intricate and interesting.
