The alignment is checked twice a year and adjusted if necessary.
I run 93 octane fuel with a little of octane boost on each tank.
All suspension bushings have been replaced.
Shocks are recent.
Need to replace the air filter.

That's all that I can think of as far as what may change my fuel economy.
I've done all that. Must be my heavy foot.

This my MPG from a trip I made a few days ago. This was driving various speeds up state highways and going up and down hills. An average of just over 21 MPG. If I wanted to take the extra hour and take the interstate, I would have gotten about 25 MPG.

You can't do better than that. I wonder how much you'd get if you put in a 3:31 rear end.
