    been having crappy fuel avg for a while now, was doing 13ltr/100k on gas and recently been at 18ltrs/100k

    last night fault poped up and was lh o2 sensor
    so just replaced both o2 sensors and the ecu temp sensor
    should hopefully bring the fuel back down

    well finally gave it a good scrub last night after work
    currently got the j series on but they will be off soon when ive got time to swap them
    the tread is about a mm or 2 above the legal marker so i best

    might chuck the avelances back on

    fuel usage is much better now, gas is 15ltr /100km and petrol is about 10ltr/100km
    well worth the $1 it cost for the sensors

    i was thinking yesterday at work about the ks the car has done and from what i caan work out its actually at the 450,000km mark
    orignal cluster said 380,000km, but was wound back by 40,000km when we sold it by a car yard, and the cluster has done 25,000 since i put it in

    so its up at the 450,000 mark
    and still drive nice
