Not really, others will say they get at least 20 mpg. But don't sweat, my 2.8 got about that. Probably because of the exhaust leak at the manifold. Check all your vacuum lines too.

Man, your car eats more gas than my friends 95 Z28! There is something terribly wrong if you're getting that bad of gas mileage. I get about 20- 22 around town and about 250 or more to a tank. Maybe you just have a MAJOR lead foot? I don't know....

mine gets around 250-300.
When I had to take it up north for a few days, averaged 17.9 in town, in below freezing weather.

i usually fill up once a week with 89 octane and usually get 25-300 miles out of it mostly around town and once in a while on the highway. 150 is crapy. you must must must check your wires and fuel economy. something you did when you made your tune up went wrong to 150 mpg. what plugs and wires did you use. did you make your own wires?? maybe you have a weak connection or something. I personally would check the whole car over and make sure everything was put togeter right.
