270ish miles out of 14 gallons. I think I need new O2 sensors because I use to get much better fuel economy.

Average is around 210-230

All freeway driving gives around.....250? (I guess)

My mileage varies from 15-20mpg. I never let her get lower then 1/4 tank.
Yet I still only fill-up once every month or two!
