Clean your MAF...probably won't help much but likely won't hurt.

O2 sensors usually get lazy...they don't throw a MIL but they just don't respond like they should.  I'd be willing to bet that's a big part of your mileage loss.  As for checking them, I don't know...I just always considered them maintenance items.

Have you considered seafoam?

I clean my maf everytime I clean my filter.  I just seafoamed my motor a week ago too, so I'll see if I notice a difference.  My o2 sensors may need replacing.  I'm not sure how willing I am to replace them.  It depends on price, mostly.

Gas prices in the south are climbing. $3.50 roughly for regular. Tipping $3.85 for Premium. Do the higher gas prices make you consider driving a bit more normal? 19MPG in this V6 makes me wish I had my 2.4 again!

Go get the S2K. Do it now and never speak of missing your car ever again.  

In response to your comment, I continue to drive light to light.

$3.35 here.  I drive a little lighter.  Right now I'm getting 32 on the hwy and about 23-24 in the city.  Not bad for a thirsty V6.

$3.45 here in Orlando. I've been getting about 26-28mpg, mostly highway with a lot of sudden stops, and going around 70-80. I could probably get a shitload more if I drove 60, but I'm too impatient for that. Tongue

The last 2 weeks it has climbed like 20 cents. It's about $3.98 per gallon right now.

I filled up this morning at 21.7 MPG. That $50 bucks hurt though.
