I am getting similar mileage with my 1996 9000cs 5 speed. Recently changed plugs, oil (synthetic) and air filter. I have also inflated the tires to 36 in back and 34 in front. Doing all of the above raised my mileage by about 1 mpg.
Just ordered the parts to do the lpt to fpt conversion. I have read here that doing so should increase mpgs but I don't really understand why/how. Will let you know if it works that way. Should be more fun to drive in any event.
I also have a new fuel filter that I am going to install. Good maintenance item but don't see how it could help mileage.
