Thats not a good mpg. Try filling the tank, run it until the low fuel light comes on. Then fill it and divide the miles you went verses the gallons you used. Much better way to get an accurate reading. I have a 95 gt 5 speed and I get 25-30 mpg city/highway. Theres either something wrong with the car or your driving.

manual cars usually get better gas mileage. but your auto is pretty bad. you should try to get a tune up before the meet. wouldn't wanna run out of gas when we cruise.

200 miles to a tank is poor. I get 375-400 when the needle is on the empty line.

I get a little over 600km's to a tank. Cost's me about $50 to fill @ $1.10/Liter (in Canadian funds). so i believe 20mpg is quite bad.

 yeah i get from 29-31 highway/backroad. I would reccomend a serious tuneup if you are only getting 20 mpg.
--------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |

Its more than likely an o2 sensor. Unless you have aftermarket plugs.
