[Birds]

Yeah cost me $125 off eBay. SR20 Pulsars use the same sensor.

I've been keeping track of my fuel consumption on my iPhone...

Because of work I'm also making lots of short trips of about 10 min / 2 to 9Km every hour or so... ...I think I got around 600Km on a GOR cruise once and around the same going up to Swan Hill... ...But that was before I started recording my fuel...

[htial]

i used to get approx 450km (30km of that after fuel light on) max. fairly stock auto. haven't had a chance to check economy recently as i've had it tuned, and still in the "honeymoon" phase

I don't think I've ever seen the fuel light... ...How low does the needle get before it comes on???...

[krzysiu]

The needle actually needs to be pretty low. I thought my light didnt work untill i lost my licence and didnt refuel. Used to start her up weekly and then reliased i had one

For my car, it came on when the needle is like about 1/2cm or so under the E line.

& I only know this because when I picked up my car from the panel shop, they pretty much drained all the fuel out & I was driving on empty .

I've never been brave enough to let it get that low...

Thanx JamesK,

i got an autoban just down the road from me, ill pop in there on the weekend and see wat they can do for me about an o2 sensor,

hopfully that might get some more ks, if not, it cant hurt getting a new one

Forget autobarn, save some $$$ and time and order from HERE $77 and quick delivery.

Dont you mean stupid enough, efi fuel pumps dont like running dry.

Well... ...There is that compelling argument too...

When the fuel light goes on there is still about 10L left in the tank...

[htial]

I've been looking at the dash all day and can't work out where the light is. Please tell me.

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

Oops should of posted up earlier I have an O2 Sensor socket if anyone nearby wants to borrow it...it does make your job a crap load easier as birds may have found out that damn thing is in tight!

[Birds]

Haha did you weld some bends into a long socket with a cut in the ring?

[adis]

My sky is on average on about 11.4L which i was happy with UNTILL my car broke down and started driving my brothers spare care, 1.8L Corolla. Geezzz, fill 40 L, done 550kms and i still got one line to empty. I cant belive the difference. You save about 7 dollars per 100kms. woow

In saying that, the car has no balls nor handling nor looks nor anything else. lol just a lil engine.

...I assume your talking to me? I just bought one dude

ive never seen a fuel light come on ever..

[JamesK]

There is guys, trust me I was in the same boat as you guys but it only comes on when your needle is ON E like basically the light is REFUEL NOW!...haha but in the manual it says there is 7 or so lts left in the tank and even when your start to get at that level it will still start to fade on and off until I think about 5lt

[htial]

I'm giving the rule light a test today... ... Let's just hope I don't find I need to buy a new globe...

[UNR33L]

i get about 500 in my n/a lol
