Doubt it, at least us US guys. I think one of the jamaican guys did use one once. I don't see the point though, to lean it out for gas mileage all you'd have to do is take the maf out and look for the two tubes under the sensor, they should both be blocked off, just drill a hole in one of the blocked off sections.

That'll work. You won't see a recognizable difference though.

I may be on that same path there with putting in an SAFC. However, the WBO2 gauge itself will be a bit to consider swapping in considering it costs quite a bit. The WBO2 sensor itself is relatively cheap ($60 or so) and it would be nice to see when the engine's running a bit too rich or too lean. If I end up getting it all hooked up, I'll give some posts. Let alone, doing the mod to the stock MAF. Speaking of which, is doing the MAF hack to the stock MAF or to the 4G37 MAF?

Is your goal just to try and beat our shitty SoCal gas prices? Just filled up for $4.21 a gallon.

How big is the tank on the Colt anyway? 'Bout 10 gallons or so? Ah, and one more thing that I've to do; make sure that the tank is siphoned out. F. Hate doing that. What's the Colt get on average for gas mileage for a higher-mileage engine? I'd think at least 29 mixed driving.
