what year? i hear lots of people say to run a 180 rather than a 160. but if its computerized, your car wont run correctly if you run too cold of a thermostat. fueling is very dependant on engine and intake temps

I would go with the 180...The 160 is too cold and the engine will not run right...You prolly saw a drop in gas mileage as well...
