gallon fillup is nearly 4mpg better than 225 on a 15 gallon fillup.
Let us know your miles-per-gallon and driving conditions/style, then
we may be able to help.
I have a 97 5spd with lots of goodies on it. I'm fairly aggressive
with the throttle, regularly hit over 100 on my way to work and end
up with about 20-22mpg depending on how many highway miles I can get
thrown in between fillups. The rest of my driving is on the damned
crappy, congested and over controlled city streets in Tucson.

I have been keeping track of my mileage for the last 3 fill ups. I drive all highway miles and I have an automatic. Over the last 45.6 gallons of gas i have driven 1131.7 miles which comes out to be 25 mpg. I drive 120 miles a day and set the cruise at 75 mph.

you have to change the fuel filter, when I got my max I had this kind of mileage (also 95) I was getting average of 16-19 mpg, when I changed that it returned to "normal" 21-26mpg. also change your air fitler if you haven't done that, it's a cheap replacement, even if the filter looks clean

You must have an automatic and drive city miles. Even in the city my 5 speed gets 400 miles on a tank. On the hwy I can squeeze out 450+ miles on a tank. City the avg mileage is 25+ and hwy it is 25-30 mpg. My Max is a 95 GXE with 120K miles. Mods are intake and Y pipe.
