If you find the answer, let us all know. I made the same kind of post some time back about even worse MPG, like 14, and since then have seen other posts of the same sort. Two easy things that helped me: inflated the tires to 39 front, cold, and 37 rear, cold; also reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for half an hour. Back up to 28 highway, around 20 city. BTW, I've never, ever, gotten 32 MPG highway as some here seem to, even with '93 N/A 9K that I drive very conservatively...good luck and keep us posted, it's an ongoing concern for a lot of us...
