Check o2 sensor, air filter, plugs/leads. Check the condition of the oil too. A lot of people (including myself) have had mileage problems when they first bought their NA. Its an old car and it may be behind on maintenance. I started off getting shit km's out of a tank, but after doing all those things I have gained probably 70-100km's extra out of a full tank.
