hey guys, i recently bought a ca18det 90 180sx, on a full tank it ran around 365ish but i filled up againg before it was full empty it was just below quater and i assume it woulda ran a bit further to the near 400 mark or something. Anyway, is this normal for a auto ca18det? Or is it drinking too much petrol?
Thanks.

I can only speak from an SR point of view, but it might help others if you list your mods too.

My CA18 manual does 250-380km/tank depending on how I drive it. I'm looking to replace the O2 sensor some time soon. They're about $70 from repco. I've heard it's not uncommon for them to break.
