I got 12~13 mpg on premium gas. New O2 sensors, knock sensor, filters, spark plugs, rear header, and wheel alignment... There is no hope

fuel filter, spark plugs, double check your tire pressure, other than that there really isn't anything else you can do. O2 sensors are another big one to do but they aren't normally cheap. I get 22-24 mixed driving (highway&city). It's rough to put a finger on exactly what causes poor gas mileage, there are so many things that will cause it because parts are slowly wearing down. Good luckJay
