That's actually what the air temp sensor and air flow meter do...the O2 sensor is there to make sure they're doing it correctly so the ECM can adjust if necessary.

If everything is working correctly, a wideband should indicate very similar readings at all temperature ranges.

1986 22r 5speed 4x4...Freakin great at 24 on a good day!!

1988 3.slow, auto, 4x4 coming in last place at a whopping 8.7 mpg! (my DD for now really ticking me off!!)

1985 22re only calculated once and it was about 10mpg on farm lanes/chore work....sounds about right, that trucks beat.

So.. A why do you have to be a douche. Look up a unit conversion chart on Google and figure it out for yourself. Just because you're american doesn't mean you're better than everyone else. Grow up man.

Sorry everyone else. This guy just rattled my cage...

He has a point though. This is an "mpg" thread not a "KPL" thread.
Miles per gallon. Not kilos per liter. So post your "Mpg" results or start a thread aboot kilos and such. C?
