fuel efficiently
i have also done the following minus the o2 sensors , (waiting for postage still)
denso iridium plugs
cleaned and serviced 4 hole injectors
new dizzy cap
new leads
new rotor
new coil
new air filter
thorough clean of the throttle body
mobil 98 fuel
still only manage to get 14.7l per 100k and most of my driving is commuting approx 25km each way and 75% being in a 100kph zone, and yes I'm light on the right foot.

not bad for $93.85 delivered , i was quoted almost $750 for them both from jeep
, and aussie retailers complain why we shop in the US.

02 sensors I wouldn't even consider trying to get local as the local blokes that I deal with wouldn't be able to get close to what I can get them from the States for. I got mine for about that amount 180k or 4-5 years ago from 02sensors.com

Is there a way to know for sure if the pumps not working?
I'll read my next tank and see what I get. In defiantly getting better mileage now I have taken the roof rack off, new fuel filter, 777 injectors, air filter and I'm running my tyres at 35psi

Cool engine up & down to 100km/hr = high usage.
Any hills?
Do you have the instantaneous fuel consumption showing on the overhead console all the time? It will soon show you when you are using lots.
