Well, this is why you probably want a sonar sensor that allows you to
trigger it to take a reading. That way you can hold-off the other
sensor (they seem to have about a 60ms cycle time) until you have
completed a reading from the first sensor. Those that do their own
timing can be confused by pulses from the others sensors.

You might want to try the Devantech SRF-05. You gate that and then
watch the pulse width of the returning pulse.
