I was having fuel mileage issues as well. I knew that these cars were really efficient and since I bought at the beginning of January the city mileage has been terrible and the highway has been okay. Even when I was being super easy on it. And the Speedo was off too.
Just took it to a tuner dude that is a good friend of a friend yesterday. Found out that the car doesn't have the original 323 rear end, but a 273. The car was still tuned for the 323, which was wayy off. Car already runs wayy better and I'm expecting some really big gains in the fuel mileage department.
Long story short, you may want to get the computer tuned.

but I managed to keep it about 80mph most of the time. Filled up and working on a city tank.
