Did you have a PPI done before you bought it?
Is it running properly?

Changing the oil has very little to do with MPG. Yea, maybe a little impact, but...

What RPM are you shifting at?
Are you in 6th gear at freeway speeds?
how fast are you going
uphill? downhill?

Also without pics, the car is not real

No PPI. I'm shifting at around 3.2k and I use 6th gear on the freeway. I'm driving at around 25 using 3rd Downhill also. I'm driving around 70 to 80 on the freeway.
