Its still the same actually. 250 miles per full tank, or so. Funny thing is that, my CEL light still comes on when my RPM hits 5.5k. I read the diagnostic and comes up with a faulty second o2 sensor. I changed both of them and, honestly, im stumped.

weird... My girlfriends car is probably getting closer to 300miles per tank. Her car only has 66k miles on it though. She doesnt get any check engine light and the car seems to run flawless. I just cant get over that her litttle motor is getting the same mileage as my 222hp v6. Oh well though

I drive hard tho. Which would explain the 250 miles per full tank. I seem to shift around 4k most of the time. But i guess i might change the whole exhaust system. Hope that will help.

I have the exact same problem. Do you get a code 26 from the CEL? I wonder if it could be the fuel injectors? -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

Code 27 actually. I used fuel injector cleaner b4. But not much of a difference.

yeh I get like 260-300 driving hard sometimes, but even if I slow it down I only get about 310 max. Freeway driving on a full tank I got like 370, but this happened only once.

I must REALLY have a lead foot. Maybe it might be time for me to re-build my engine.
