My thoughts too, but the 3.8L A4 camaro that I once owned never got better than 220 miles per a tank.

P.S. Summer; Is that camaro is your sig pic the v6 mentioned? If so, I would of never guessed.

EGR can be blocked off, but it will get marginally better milage with it, provided its not stuck again.

220 miles on a stock 3.8 with normal gearing is not great but it's not awful either.
Shifter you musta been beating on that poor 3800.

The 02s are probably dead at 100k- if you are going to seafoam some more do it on the old 02's, then replace those. $74 a piece plug n play at Autozone. Just the front two will do.
