Default Gas Mileage 1991 Accord LX

I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX, and i am getting approx 20 miles to the gallon. My father said that it was getting around 35 before I started driving it, alittle over a year ago. The miliage got worse, as the tires wore out, but I have had them replaced, and at some point last year the ignitor went out, and that was replaced as well. But even with those items replaced, I have found that I am not achieveing the previous 35 miles per gallon. I was wondering what things could cause the miliage difference, and how I could go about improving this, being as economical as possiable. It has 141,400 miles on it, so I realize that it will not get as good as it did when it was new, but around 127,000 is when my father drove it. Any help is appriciated... Thanks, David
