John,
I have basically the same car, except for the headers. I figure I get about
20 to 25 MPG. My driving tends to be...shall we say...spirited? Did you
check for leaks? Is there any smell of gasoline?
Having had many cars with poor fuel gauges, I would fill the tank and write
down the odo reading, then fill it every time you go 100 miles or so. You
won't run out that way, and once you get used to doing it, it becomes second
nature.
