Default Differences in O2 sensors?

My fuel economy has turned to crap (just when I thought it couldn't get any worse). I was expecting a markable improvement once I had the T5 in, but it seems to have gotten worse.

I am going to replace the O2 sensor, but I was just wondering whether they're the same for ED and XH (as I have an XH ECU)?

O2 Sensors are the same for EB to EL in the 6 Cyl.

Sure your not just hooning around alot more with the manual :P Whats your current Avg Ltrs per 100ks?

Heheh I am hooning a bit, but no more than I did with the auto. I don't know the current average as my trip computer doesn't work with the ECU :(

(PS: "Coming" has one m )

there you go your royal Highness! Ill alert the Serfs about the printable text!

BTW work out your average by seeing how much fuel your using in a quarter of a tank.

Were you gonna get a new one or a second hand one? I'd go new if I was you, they're pretty fragile.

: Because it's basically an EF hybrid ECU as far as I know. Hence it will control thermos etc, but not BBM. Hence I need an EF dash and trip computer if I want a working trip computer.

I just bought one from Bursons for $85 or so. "NTK" - NGK's 'technical ceramics' arm. Now to put the mofo in with boiling hot headers....... I'll let you know if it changes anything.
