Poor fuel mileage
I'm not a novice LNF owner. I've had the car for 3.5 years. I've serviced it myself. I've upgraded it. I know what I'm doing. I know how the car has ran/is supposed to run. I'm not some kid who picked it up and has no idea wtf they're doing.
I know how to calc mileage. I know what my mileage has been. And 23 CALCULATED on highway driving means that something is wrong.

No luck yet but I haven't had a real chance to sit down and dig into her. I'm gonna clean my MAF and see if that makes any change (even though I'm nearly positive there's a leak somewhere. I unplugged the MAF and it didn't run any different so I'm gonna try that.
Hopefully can get my car up on the lift this weekend and see what's up

Update: seafoamed, changed the oil and put a fresh set of plugs in her. No change. Fuel trims went WAY out of whack (-15 to -25). Runs no better than it did prior.
Current symptoms:
Won't boost past 21PSI.
Vacuum is -16.7in Hg at idle
Occasionally (ONLY occasionally) if I coast in neutral at a high speed (above 40mph), it'll dip down to 200-300RPM and nearly die
STFT regularly ranges from -5 to -15. Occasionally it'll read +10 (really doesn't stay positive though), and has seen as bad as -28)
FTFT is -6 to -10 regularly
Wideband O2 is going out - when cruising, it'll ease it's way down to .70 LAMBDA before shooting back up to 1.00 where it should be
Car has no CELs. And it hasn't had one. I check occasionally with my Interceptor to see if there's any hidden codes, and there isn't.
