Default 320k's a tank normal ?

Got maybe a fuel useage situation I seem to be getting 320ks per tank (72lt) in an absolutely stock 6/06 TJ with 33000k's on the clock, at least 200k's of this is highway cruising and I have been carefull not to lead foot. I've also got an eratic miss at idle--still.
This usage seems to me to be somewhat excessive , are there any common faults that cause this--- and is this appaling useage "normal"
Any hints on misses of the nasty kind would be appreciated to.

I don't think that is normal. When my 05 TJ was stock and I was driving 2/3 highway I'd get around 420 - 450 km before the light came on (approx. 60L of fuel).
