Default 2002 intrepid fuel economy.

Hey all
I just bought a 02 intrepid 2.7 And it runs and drives very well but its only getting 275 miles per tank. With a 17 gallon tank im getting like 16 mpg and i drive all highway @ 70 mph. I work @ the dealership and checked the service history, in december of 2010 the car had a b&g fuel flush, new plugs and 1 of the 4 o2 sensors replaced. There are no check engine lights on and the car idols good.. Any thoughts?

Air filter, tire pressure, fuel blends? Other O2s bad maybe?

How many miles are on the motor? check the timing too,to make sure it hasn't backed off any.
