I would stop replacing your o2 sensors and instead clean up the electrical grounds in your engine bay. Get a multimeter, and measure the ohms, if it's reporting more than 0 ohms, then you should clean up your grounds. I did this to my car and gained a few mpgs. Other thing you can do is run a fuel system cleaner through the car like chevron techron fuel system cleaner. Also if you have any check engine lights like for your EGR or whatnot, that too can cause the poor fuel economy. Always diagnose all check engine codes.
Thanks i wish i could average that but the max i could get was 28 so it will need a little work done so i can get to my desired mpg, the only code i get from my check engine light is from the o2 disconnected. Is yours also a wagon? Did you remove your egr?
