That was a concern I had, the old GM-OBD systems had a set temp before going into normal operating mode, if I recall correctly, it may have been around 165 degrees. I have been monitoring mileage, and so far it seems like it's consistent, though I'm sure temps doesn't have to be significant for the PCM to enrich the a/f mix. My only real concern is going too rich for the cats, since no one wants to have to replace a set of cats.
