Do a search for "gas mileage" You will find tons of info on how to improve.

Check for clogged cats and check the function of the AFM.

^ It shouldn't. That is somebody who dosen't know how EFI works. The 3800 rpm point is where the aux. ports open, and that has no bearing on fuel mileage. It opens the 2ndairy injectors, yes, but also cuts the duty cycle of the primary's in half or less. It dosen't effect your mileage at all.

What was listed above (fuel filters (in tank and in line), O2 sensor, spark plugs & wires, and clogged) should cover the possibilities.

you might have bad injectors... on my car the fuel pump assembly doesn't fit flush with the tank and so some evaporates out ... I'm proabaly getting in the single digits....
