Gas consumption

[01001010]

I have to calculate the city miles (even though im doing State Road driving most of the time)...

The most I've ever had was 405 miles to a tank...that was on stock tires, laden enough to have the back of the truck nearly on bumpstops, a bike rack with 4 bikes and two bikes attached to the stock roof rails...3 guys and doin 70mph on the highway.

Now that I have more constant weight on the truck, and burnt o2 sensors, I've been getting way less.

I don't want to derail the thread but Safari Gard Stage 2, Bilstein 7100, 285/75r16 on stock tires (traded turning radius for stuffability without trimming (much) I've been happy so far.

I had your set up on my 1995! Loved it... but this rig is a whole different feel!

If you're interested I can post up all the info?!?!

Cris,

I learned of the substitute parts at http://www.rangerovers.net/rrpartsv.htm#osensor. The part that caught my eye was "James Howard found that the Bosch ones he got from NAPA for $69.95 with a 13021 part number had "NTK" stamped on them. According to one source, NTK Ceramics are the only company that makes O2 sensors in the size Rover and Nissan use, so get whatever are the cheapest ones you find!"
