My 93 with the KA24E and a 5 speed gets about 30. I actually got 31.4 last fill up. I check it on every fill up. The O2 sensor is definately a good place to start. I keep the tires up to reccomended pressures. I have the K&N air filter. I also took the tailgate off and installed an air gate years ago. Probably the biggest factor in mileage for the KA24E is the RPM you turn. Keeping it below 60 mph and turning less RPM has a dramatic effect on mileage. As has been mentioned in these forums, our power curve is not very linear. At higher RPM the power comes on strong, so keeping your truck at a lower speed with use less power and fuel. I changed my route to and from work recently. I was driving the four lane highway at 65-70 mph and getting around 29 mpg. I went to the country roads and only run about 55-60 mph. This caused my mileage to go up to 30-31 mpg. One of the main reasons I have this truck is to get great mileage and keep the miles off my Z. I wouldn't trade this truck for anything. I hope this advice helps you.
