I just replaced the thermostat on my Laser yesterday. It was sticking for sure. There was a rubber seal in the thermostat that was old and swollen. It wouldn't let it close all the way, which is why my car took about 15 minutes to warm up, including 5 miles of freeway driving! So I'm hoping to see FE jump up a little due to less time spent in cold enrichment mode.
OTOH, I'll have to monitor coolant temps to see where they are after the car warms up. With the bad T-stat freeway temps were around 197-203F, which is good for FE. If that drops to the regulated temp of 192-195F I may loose a little FE. We'll see.
