I got about 23.5mpg typically in my 78T, when I was using the car regularly. Mostly freeway, but not always "free". The worst I ever remember was towing three race bikes, four people, and all our gear, and it was about 17mpg.
I haven't driven the car much in years, but on my commuters (bikes) my mileage dropped about 15% when California switched to MTBE in the gasoline. The difference between Chevron (MTBE as oxygenate) and 76 (ethanol as oxygenate) was 2mpg (almost 6%) on the bike I was commuting with when I did a real check.
My 78T has a MSS street turbo cam, MSS exhaust rear section and is set to about 10psi boost. Oh, and it's a 5-speed.
I'd say your mileage is indeed pretty poor. Checked your control pressure lately?
