maybe...

that could be

could be dirty MAF

could be lazy 02 sensor or air fuel sensor

you should easily hit the reserve light at 240 miles on a tank in a 3.4
average 79 miles per hour on highway


so yeah something is chewing up yer gas.


provided you are using stock spec tire size and a mud/snow tire, not an aggressive heavy tire.


if this is all intown, short trips and a lot of hills then it may be normal. hills eat mpg like no ones business

if you have 130,000 miles or more and original o2 sensors, just man up and replace the front one.
get the oem part for your VIN at the dealer.
they definitely do not last much longer than 130,000 miles. and right before they blow the MIL lamp, your
mileage drops
