Last tank I got 13.9mpg My Jeep Rubicon with 410 gears gets 18mpg. Hell my 4 door 1 ton Dodge diesel 4x4 gets 20mpg... I only drive 60 most of the time but will sometimes see 65-70mph...

LOL I finally got mine out of the 10 range and I am now getting 12.5 consistently. Woohoo!! I need new O2 sensors bad but at 113 a piece I think I am going to have to do the front 2 first and hold off on the back 2. I am delusional that I will someday get 15mpg lol.

I have been doing research on O2's.
The best prices are on Amazon and e-bay.
You only need the fronts, all the rears do is tell the ecu that the cats are working.
If a guy was to cut out the cats and install "dummy O2's" or "O2 simulators" the ecu would never know the difference.
It is the fronts that tell the ecu how rich/lean the engine is running, the rears do next to nothing.

WHAT?! Where do i get these "dummy O2's" ?!
My driver's side cat throws a code occasionally, but if i could get dummy O2's so that my SES light doesn't come on, that would be awesome!

I knew I recognized the name. I used to work in Brownwood and took pt's to Temple all the time. Passed right through that area. Then I worked in Temple for awhile for Scott and White EMS. Wish there were more 4x4 areas up here near me. Not many in Texas period.

I was camping right near there at the end of May.
Some camp ground on a lake north of town.
