I only get 13 MPG in my day to day, mixed highway and city driving (mostly highway) and that's just terrible.. I have new(ish) spark plugs, new O2 sensors, I've run some cleaner through the fuel system and something to clean the injectors and this thing still sucks down gas very quickly..

Any advice?
Bret,
Are you saying that you put $72.00 of premium fuel in?
Gas around here is right $4.00 a gallon.
If you put in less gas you got better MPG.
This happens all of the time, people makes mistakes.
Hey, I evan got marred!
