Inflate your tires to just below the hardest pressure on the tire.

Turn off the AC and roll down the windows until you break a sweat.

Smooth take offs and feathered break stops.

Make sure the air filter is clean, the vacuum lines are tight, and the throttle body is clean.

If your O2 sensor is the only one your car has had, think about changing it.

YES to all those.

Take a chance on overheating a AL head to find out if maybe you get better mileage, I'll pass on trying that one.

Regards,

Paul
