Sad to say those numbers are not much different from mine. I usually drive 75 on the freeway when I can, too. MPG will go up if you slow down, even just to 65. These 3.0i's are great engines in just about every way but MPG.

I felt similar to you when I first got mine almost 5 years ago. It ran great but I was sure it should get better MPG. New O2 sensors, oil change, new spark plugs (all OEM), and no change at all - still runs great, still low MPG. Pass CA smog checks with no problems too.
