Default Poor Gas Mileage

I have a 89 Iroc with 350 TPI and automatic.
I'm getting 13 MPG in mostly city driving?

Shouldn't I get more.

You probably could do better but not by much. It mostly depends on how heavy your right foot is. You may want to invest in a good tune up, including plugs, wires, and a new air filter. Oil & filter change won't hurt. Drive like an 80 year old man, and yor fuel mileage will improve.

The only reason I ask was because I've read posts from others that claim to get 20 MPG. But thanks for being so kind.
