first... to determine the mpg with any accuracy, you need to fill then run then fill and note how much you put in and how many miles were covered. otherwise it is too inaccurate and you may be charging off fixing something that is not broken. Tank holds about 14 gallons to fill when I fill it after the fuel light comes on. ALso, determine the code which is being set by the CE light. This will halp with diagnosis. You can try cleaning the throttle, make sure theat there are no vacuum leaks. As a precaution, replace all the vacuum lines and rubber grommets in the intake and the valve cover. Replace teh gasket on the oil filler (the car is 12 and think of it as a birthday gift) If you feel moved, you could replace the O2 sensor, too. The auto does get worse mileage than the manual so expect 28 mpg tops on the highway and 22ish around town. On my 89 NA, 5 sp, I got 400 miles on a tank once around town by very gingerly driving it and routinely around 400 miles on the road per tank.
