I can get around 400 miles out a tank with my '93 SSEi driving it easy and not using boost. Driving normal ( which is engine hitting the redline pretty much every time I accelerate ) I can usually get about 330 to 350 miles out of a tank.

Things that I've done:
- New plug wires (AutoLite Prof)
- NGK TR55 spark plugs (gapped .060)
- AC Delco O2 Sensor
- New PCV valve
- New Fuel Filter
- Usual oil changes about every 3000-3500 miles
I'm wondering if maybe a good thorough TB cleaning isn't in order, and I've been looking to replace the cat for a while with a Magnaflow. I'm hoping this will contribute something positive overall.

I have been averaging a tick below 16 MPG with almost exclusive city driving. Kinda disappointed. Isn't the car rated at 19mpg city?
Already replaced the spark plugs, and I am going to try replacing the fuel filter and O2 sensor. ..
Any other ideas?

When the wife drives she gets ~16. When I drive I get ~24 city and 32+ highway.
She doesn't drive highway and plans her city driving ot hit every stop sign possible. LOL

I got 345 miles on that 12.83 gallons. But in fact I wan't too happy. That was 90% highway miles at ~70 mph. I hoped to get at least EPA rating of 30 mpg highway because my grand am gets better than its EPA rating.
