I get 17-21 in city-highway. Over the past 5 years this is what I've done:

Swapped in synthetic oil for gear lube and engine oil.
Installed Bosche platinum plugs.
Tried the K&N filter but took it out because of filtration concerns.
Installed 2.25 cat-back with Magnaflow.
Installed new timing belt, idler pulleys, and waterpump.
Put about a 100,000 miles on it.

It's not a sportscar by any standards, but it does the job. What's the hurry anyway? Get it off the pavement and you'll enjoy it more.
