Re: 3.1L 91 CAMARO POOR GAS MILAGE

O2 sensor!!! Sometimes they would have to get very bad in order for the SES light to come on. Does it smell a little bet like sulfur when the car idles. Let it idle without revving the engine up for about 15 min and see if SES light comes on. I would guess that's probably your cause tho, especially if you have never replaced the sensor.
