I drive an 8 valve 88 base, now with 5 speed. On the auto I would get 19-22 all the time. The stick now averages around 29. Keep in mind I baby it all the time and drive until the tank is just about dry.
Best: this July (old mechanical FI works best in high temps) 35.5 mpg 526.3 miles on a tank. That is not a typo.
On my 1990 NA 16v I got 34.5 in the summer and went (I think) around 485 miles on that tank, although it was larger.
Steps to improve your mileage:
1. Baby it
2. Maintain it (filters, bearings, brakes release, timing)
3. Don't drive in sprawl
4. Shed excess weight. (That implies running the tank down, best done with practice.)
Enjoy!
