Ok everyone...let'* relax on the off topic stuff and help him.
When was the last time you replaced your O2 sensor? The O2 is the single most mpg contributing sensor if your car seems to be running ok.

OK..please replace both of those sensors and check back..both are a piece of cake on your car.
Also how is someone supposed to wax rust holes?

fill rust holes with wax for aerodynamics!?!?

Actually, if you do have big rust holes, they will catch air and cause drag, thus reducing the MPG, but not by that much, you may be losing 1mpg from the holes. I highly reccomend you replace your O2 and cam sensor.
