The fuel pressure with the FPR hose disconnected is fine. What's the pressure when the hose is connected?

Is the CEL ON?

In what condition are the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor?

This pressure is too high and should be 31-38 PSI. This is likely an important cause of your low gas mileage.

Have you compression tested the cylinders?

Have you inspected the cap and rotor of the distributor?
