[V8] MPG - Final Chapter for now!

[Ron Wainwright]

Have you tried a 4 wire 02 sensor Jason?
I've recomended the 4 wire to a few listers & they
report a few more MPG with the 4 wire.

 Oh & one other thing to add to your list...have you
verified that you'r IC is good? Meaning the readings
you are getting from it.
 I've never seen those low a MPG in any V8 I've
had..or driven.
 My o, Pearl V8 mit P&P heads/intake, Stebro, & old
sensors have never yeilded those low #'s.
& I had a very, VERY heavy foot with the Pearl V8.
It's hard not to want to stomp on it to hear that
Stebro open up!
 On my 93...again. 18/19 city/20/24'ish HW.

 On the HW I've all ways found that the faster I
went....the better my MPG were!
 But as you & a few have mentioned....maybe the
coolant sensor is flakey??
