ya lay off the gas petal. also you get worse fuel milage in winter due ot the cold weather and winter blend of gasoline.
but ive always gotten atleast 280-320 miles per tank depending on the driving im doing. city vs highway

Probably a fuel filter and air filter.
I find with mine if I do nothing but city driving for a few weeks it starts to get shitty mileage. So I take it for a long highway trip and by the time I get home my mileage has improved again.

Mine is starting to get better gas mileage after I changed the spark plugs.... I might need to change the fuel filter, but I heard that's a pain to do....
