effect will be the same as narrowband sensors... the lead will put them closer to death... the wideband may last slightly longer than narrowband... but were it me, after using the sensor for 2-3 passes I would start to become skeptical of the results...

Thumbs up

I run nothing but 116 in my GN...The FAST sensor has done well for over 3 yrs, and perhaps 300 passes. It just "keeps on ticking".

Same here, I have a 2 year old sensor in the BS3 that was running in a car that used nothing but C16, then I put it in my car and ran it all last year on 112 sunoco and C16/maximal. I put a new one in a month ago just to be safe but it still reads the same as the three year old LC1 sensor I use for the dash display.

If you dont run pig rich they will last a long time, running rich will kill the sensors even on unleaded.. Also avoid the cheap 110 leaded fuel, whatever additiveds they use can kill a wideband (or narrowband) in a couple passes..
