I'm in the same boat. I'll be lucky if I get 250 miles on this tank. I asked for plugs and wires for Christmas though and hope that helps. No CEL codes or anything. Seafoaming it in a couple weeks also

Maybe I should clean my air filter out. I get like 350 all highway on my V6 6 speed and city I around 280, but that's because I'm still in the gas happy phase haha.

I think I have to clean out my air filter too.

Like I said, I get between 460 and 470 miles on a full tank. By the way I forgot to add that I am a very big fan of the cruise control. It always make the drive off the 405 freeway a lot more tolerable and it makes dividends in the fill ups.

On a trip to las vegas, I think I was able to squeeze 520 miles out of a full tank. Majority of the drive was on cruise control as well.
