I dont have an answer for you, but a comment. I have a cheapie narrow band 
O2 sensor (< $30 at Auto Zone) driving my AutoMeter O2 instrument in the 
panel. When I added the EFISM I asked Ed if one O2 sensor would drive both 
and he didnt know. So I tried it and it works fine. No change in the 
AutoMeter indicator and the EFISM tracks it perfectly. I think the inputs on 
both the gauge and the EFISM are very high impedance and dont present much 
of a load on the O2 sensor. Just a data point.
