This code P0193 is fuel rail pressure sensor high input. Car seems to run normal. Is this serious and where is the pressure sensor located? Does this light effect my gas mileage?

The fuel pressure regulator may be faulty. High fuel pressure will affect power and economy, get the pressure tested. This will require a fuel pressure gauge with correct adapters for your car. Check your mechanic has the correct test equipment to do this job.
