Timing yes, but your 85 S does not have an O2 sensor. Age of plugs? Proper gap too- just a cleaning will help. Belt tension correct- the less drag the better. Do you use your AC often- this could be the culprit up front? Air filter- age? A least knock it out. Last fuel filter replace?
Clean injectors- I've had success with SR-1 from Redline and AMSOILs product too. A higher ocatane will help, but will cost you too.
Recalculate MPG- remember that the lines and filter hold about 1 gallon(+), so filling up to reserve light will not mean an entire tank of gas. not exactly sure about the details on an 85. Best to calculate over time/miles.
Good luck
PS- driving habits alone could be it? Do you see 5K(+) often?
