my gas guage does not work so I can't really truly measure my gas level but I would guess that I get about 27mpg

I'm willing to bet it's the fuel pump. Before I replaced my pump, I'd get about 180 miles before it would start stalling and acting like crap. Replaced the fuel pump and I know average about 300 miles per tank.

How much did it cost to get a new pump and have it installed? Thanks.

Damn, 203 on a half tank! 
I'm only getting 23MPG (About 300-325 per tank). All city.
I have a feeling that my intake manifold gasket is bad hurting my mileage. 
Heck, according to my fuel guage I'm getting 12MPG...piece of crap.

7.735L/100 KMS
or 30.41 MPG and I think that's US Mpg not what we use in Canada then it would be 36.52.
Which isn't bad, but I did some very long and gas consuming trips...
Here's the last couple fillup results in US MPG
29.122 L + 494 Kms = 5.895L/100Kms = ~39.9 MPG
(On premium right after a valve and TB cleaning)
50.007 L + 529 Kms = 9.45 L/100Kms = ~24.9 MPG
