Try replacing your plugs and wires also get your Catalysis checked out. I was luck to get 10mpg in my v6 a couple months back. All I needed was a tune up.

Your RIGHT FOOT in most cases is the cause of poor mpg.

I can get 30MPG on 93 octane pump gas IF I can cruise between 80-90MPH! But under 80MPH I get about 26-28MPG on the highway. In the city I get between 20-24. I have a very heavy foot so this really surprised me when I first calculated it after I bought it.

Mods are SLP Exhaust, SLP intake, SLP MAF, and HURST short throw shifter.
