Still working on this car, took out of town trip got 25 miles per gallon as long as I was going over 60 mph.
could the map sensor and or maf sensor cause that type of problem? Im at a loss, will change hopefully the coolant sensor tomorrow.

Actually, 25mpg is better than I would have expected. What exact problem are you having?

I agree with the above expert. Getting 25 mpg out of a 1991 V6 sounds like its working fine to me. If you think it went down a couple then you can try cleaning throttle body, running some fuel system cleaner, air filter, fuel filter, tune up, and etc.
