Default bad mpg

I got a 93dx 4dr auto. with only 58K. THe bad thing is that its getting only 200 miles on a full tank. it also kinda sounds like its reving higher than normal but not by a lot. its got no tach cuz its a dx so i cant tell to good. I cant seem to figure out whats killing the mpg. it doesn't seem like it needs a tune-up or anything. anyone got any ideas by chance?

Buy STP complete fuel cleaner. Since ur car is kinda old the fuel system might be dirty.
