I don't have any real pearls of wisdom, but what kind of gas are you putting in it? I have had a couple of vehicles that ran like crap and got bad gas mileage, but only with certain gas types. My 88 9kt gets about 33-35 highway, and the only mod I have made was going to a K&N air filter (which helped tremendously with the turbo lag), and I only run Mobil Super in it. Also mine is a 5-speed which will make a diff of a few miles per gallon. My foot tends to get a l;ittle on the heavy side, especially when I have a 'riced out' honda sitting at the light next to me revving his vaccuum cleaner (oops, I mean engine), and this does not seem to adversly affect my mileage. I also had a car that only ran good when I used penzoil, don't understand why, just used that kind of oil from then on...
