Some of the gas mileage depends on how (smooth easy stops and starts, jackrabbit stops and starts) and where (stop&go city, highway) you drive.

Things to check:
-timing to spec
-plugs gapped correctly
-valve clearances correct
-how's the fuel/air mixture (lean or rich; black tail pipe can mean too rich)
