no codes - 400km/ tank - should be 550km/ tank - help! 850 1995

I get about 450 km a tank on my 854T. My sister 00 S70 get around 700.
I have the power but she has the distance.
My O2 sensor gets a code about ever 250k after resetting it. I dont think it is affecting the mileage too much.
But I would sugggest to check vacuum lines because your car is probably running too rich thus giving poor mileage. Is your car a Turbo or NA??
If its running too rich it will eventually ruin your 02 sensor.
Check your exhaust tip for carbon deposits. That is usually a visual clue of running too rich.
