Actual mileage information would be useful. At your next fill up (FULL fill up. Make it click a few times), reset your tripmeter. Drive until less than a quarter tank is left, then fill up again. Divide your tripmeter's reading by the amount in gallons of gas. That'll give us an accurate MPG number to figure out if you're actually low or not.

Also, when was your last full tune up? Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing, fuel, oil, and air filters, and oil?

Cuz I was about to say if he's only putting 25 bucks in that's about six gallons roughly about 30 MPG which seems about right
