i think you might be able to go a little more depending on your driving style. ie. slow down, dont gas it as much. lose some unnecessaryweight in the car. a little tune up may help too like seafoam to clean the injectors and the cylinders.

my mileage is actually about there since i dont really take my own advice but i should.

In the 2000 LX - I get about 380 - 400 miles beforethe gas light comes on.
My mileage used to be about 31 city, now it's down to about 29 city driving running the a/c the whole time when it's about 90 outside.
I haven't changed my plugs yet.I will soon.
I'm not sure what the V6 gets. My wife drives it. i think she usually gets about 330-350 miles to the tank though.

When is the last time your spark plugs & air filter were changed?
You don't have a Check Engine Light on do you?

I got 29.9 mpg last time I checked. That's a combo of city and highway with AC running about half the time.

i change my spark plug not too long ago and i install my intake so the air filter is clean. I think i might know what the problem is. I have a 15 inch JL audio in back of my trunk. I guess that is the most weight in my car. i think the box is around 45 pounds.
