Are you actually computing this from the miles traveled and fuel put in,
or are you simply reading it off the trip computer?  In my experience,
the trip computer can be very optimistic saying I average 28 mpg when
the true value may be closer to 20 or 22 mpg.  FWIW, I get about 19-20
mpg in the summer with the A/C at 100% all the time, about 20-22 mpg in
the winter, and about 25 mpg on the highway in my 4kcsq with original
oxygen sensor.  I guess it's about time to change it after 12 years.
