I have an '88 8v and '90 16v both of mine get about the same as yours (8v a little less, because its fuel injection system is a little more primitive). Although technically you are correct in that you should be getting better mileage, my view is:
Cars that have over a 100k on the odometer aren't obligated to get good fuel economy (engines lose compression, vacuum leaks, deteriorating rubber hoses and so on). Just be happy it starts and runs. If I may opine, I truly believe that you could spend good money after bad trying to track this down. Good luck either way.
