I typed out my usual mpg, but then I realized you meant city driving. I'll have to guess 20 or so. I have to drive a ways to get into city driving, so I really have no way of knowing.

timing helps. Itll run with the timing off, causing bad mileage but I didnt even notice when my timing was off ( I was getting 16ish before)

O2 Sensor

O2 Sensor can kill your mileage. Cap and rotor can also help espicially if they are all burned up. Both my birds had bad caps and rotors.

Ignition module. And check your coil. That all I can think of
