    So your foot tends to get in the gas doesnt it...

    What RPM does it usually shift at when driving around normally?

    This is of course ignoring the following:

    Plugs, wires, air filter etc.

    If those are all newish then i'd suggest check your FPR. Pull the vacuum line off the FPR and if you smell gas from inside the line, the FPR is prolly shot.

    I've interpreted far worse.....

    But I only get 300 K per tank at the moment, but I'm always in the gas and I'm boosted.

    Average person should get 400-500 km per tank at least....

    Will new plugs, wires, and air filter increase fuel economy? Cuz I drive a lot of highway, and I'm pretty gentle on the throttle, and I only get like 21 mpg.

    New plugs – will restore lost mpg
    New wires – probably not unless there very old/very high resistance and/or actually malfunctioning
    New air filter – a solid no, a new air filter will not increase or restore mpg

    I’d look towards replacing the front O2 sensor, they don’t last much past about 120k.

    Well, I would clean the MAF sensor next. Sometimes mpg lose is combo of small issues that build until the overall effect is noticed.

    Other items (that are easy to check)
    1) PCV valve – just replace it they only cost $2
    2) Proper tire inflation. 30 psi is the very least you want on a cold (not driven for an hour) tire, this would be the factory recommendation. I aim for 33 psi on a warm (recently driven) tire in the winter and 36 psi in the summer.
    3) EGR – despite people hate of this emission control device, it actually improves mpg. I’d start by cleaning the carbon out of it.
