Might be worth having a look at the air filter, a fresh air filter can make a big difference. Sometimes the air filter box can also be full of leaves etc.

The 3.0 does indeed fill its air filter up with shmutz. I may well change it out, its been a while since I last did TBH
On our first trip to the in-laws' place in France year before last I got 35mpg, last year I paid special attention to fuel consumption as there was a fuel shortage in France and we got 32mpg at ~85mph. I put this down to newly installed 19s, that replaced the 17s it came with. Was a little disappointing, I won't lie.
