Easiest way to double your MPG is to drive to your destination and get towed back.

i just worked that out after leaving the post. i googled lambda and found out it goes on the exhaust. i was getting it muddled with the hall sensor on the carburettor.
you are right. i definately dont have a lambda on either of mine.
so what happens if i change my hall sensor...

mine does 300 miles to 60 litres. any improvement on that would be wicked.

So you're getting 22-23 mpg on gas then. That's good for a syncro - equiv. to over 40mpg petrol.
I'm getting 21 on a run out of the 2.6 and that's 2wd and cruising at 65...

You defiantly dont have a carburetor ether

wow.
i really do honestly know what i am talking about most of the time ...
i just sometimes get my words muddled up.
no carburettor either! definately.
i meant the reconbominator.
my trucks dont run on gas. the 112i is a thirsty petrol monster, but i just drove from lands end to yorkshire and back with bfg mts and a van full and got 500ks to 60l so almost exactly 300 miles . i tend to use the trip counter as a kind of fuel guage because reserve on the actual guage is a bit vague.
