Plugged air filter or maybe a dead O2 sensor for a couple guesses.
When was the last time you changed the distributor cap, rotor, wires and
plugs? All of those have effect.

My 95 (owned since last October) gets about 13 mpg if I try, and about
11 mpg if I leadfoot it :(
Although, on ONE tank, where I tried to use as much of the tank as
possible, I actually got 15 mpg!! (And I still only had to put 18 gal.
back into it!?!)
