o2 sensor

While unleaded fuel is still used in Oz, all vehicles sold after 1986 were
mandated to use unleaded and only those use EGO's.  Leaded fuel is due to
be completely fazed out around the year 2000.  So unfortunately, no, there
are no 'special' sensors available for use over here with leaded.

Further on this issue: can someone advise me of an EGO supplier in the
States that will ship OS ??  I'm yet to find an 'aftermarket' supplier in
Oz and the OEM ones are just plain ridiculous prices.  I'd prefer to buy
new (seconhand ones being a bit of a lottery).

TIA
