240 Mileage advice? 200

1992 240 Sedan, 200+ miles.

I recently replaced my oxy sensor and the AMM and noticed an increase in mileage. But I'm only getting 18-19 in the city and 22-23 highway. I do oil changes and tune-ups on time, have a new timing belt, exhaust, alternator and water pump. (Not that those do much for MPG.) I keep the tires at 35 PSI.

What are some simple steps to improve my MPG? I've seen claims of 25-30 in old 240's.

Anyone have any killer tips on improving MPG?
