Welcome to the club man. My 2200 has ~50K on it with new plugs and wires, intake, exhaust + header (4-1 style) and of course is a 5 speed. I'm getting between 21-24, and that doesn't change over the summer when it's warm out either. In the next few days I'm upgrading to a 4-wire heated oxygen sensor up front and if that doesn't change it I wont really know what else to do. I know it's all in how to drive stuff, but I drove like a grandma for a whole tank once to see if I'd get better mileage; no such luck.
