02 cel normal for slow drivers?!?!?!?

I recently (24 July) got a cel and it was for one of my 02 sensors. However that day I had both my dogs in the back and did not go into boost. I cleared it and it hasn't come back since. I have 09 RA 61,000 kms.

Now I spoke to another RA owner in the area who has a 09 with 20,000 kms and said he had gotten the same thing. But he only gets it after his wife drives the car (who rarely goes into boost).

He went to the dealer and apperantly it is a common fault with the RA. Parts are on order and is under warranty.

We both have the GST Basemap with pill he has had it since it came out almost and i have had it for 2 months. Just to be clear this isn't a GST Basemap issue as we all kneel before Bryan and his greatness that is.

Are cars are the same age and I would like to know if anyone else has come across this?!?!

We both only have the tune with pill, no other mods(closest 4wd dyno & tuner is 18hours away) but he has gotten the cel more than i have(only once for me).

He brought it to the dealer and the dealer said its a common issue for the car. Im just wondering if anyone else has had the 02 cel.

^got that code when I put cheap gas in my car from on-base (still premium). Been using the gas from the top tier stations (chevron, shell, etc) and the code went away and never came back.

Not sure if its the same situation with you but I too have the boost pill and GST 2.5 tune.
