The second oxygen sensor is to ensurevthe cat is working correctly for emmissions reasons.

My EF gets 600km to a tank of Ultimate, and that's with a number of performance mods - despite the auto, street tyres and 3.08 diff it runs 14.9sec quarters and sees plenty of throttle when accelerating during normal driving. Even if I pull a trailer for 100km it still returns 570km to the tank...

that deffinately not normal. my dad used to have a BA MK1 XR6 turbo, 5 speed manual, and around town it would average 11-12L/100km. that wasnt pushing it, but it was p***y footing it around like a grandpa either lol.
my XF wagon, 5 speed on petrol will average 12L/100km around town, and 9.2L/100km on the hwy, thats running 98 octane. i would have a talk to Ford, cos if its a NA xr6 thats using a lot of fuel.

im deffinitly not replacing my 02 sencors, as they are like 800$ for both, thats from ford, wtf..
and asked if 17.2 was normal, he said driving around town will be around 14 to 18 L per 100ks, and from 10 to 14 on highway, so its all good,

I'm sitting on 12.2L/100 average in my Fairlane, doing 600k's a week through the CBD in peak hour. Driving style is the biggest influence in fuel consumption. I had an AU XR8 that I could(driving style dependant) achieve between 12L/100 and 21L/100.

I think people just lie about how much fuel they get out of there cars on this site, funny stuff.
if u do a bit of highway driving ur obviously gunna get good consumption, i live on the northern beaches. Lots of traffic, therefore lots of traffic lights. custom tune soon and few mods should be sweet.....

RIGHT THROUGH THE CBD and get 500k's before my fuel light comes on. 520k's, 60-62L to fill.

i should probably add, my XF has been fitted with extractors, a hi flow cat, and 2" custom sports exhaust, and a K&N panel filter in the stock air box. all of which cos me...$650 the extractors and exhaust, and $50 for the filter, so $700 total, and a lifetime of saving $$$ on fuel bills
