Those are nice numbers. I would be interested to see how long you sustain them.

I am not sure the OP was complaining about or voicing concern over his fuel economy. To the contrary, he seemed rather elated at his numbers. Even if fuel economy was on his list of concerns would there be anything wrong with wanting to improve it?

19+ MPG on the Highway at 75 MPH in a DC with a four speed automatic and a bad O2 sensor - not too shabby!
