That's a little over 10 MPG which is a bit low. Make sure the engine is tuned and has no issues and the tires are inflated properly. Also make sure you are not carrying any unnecessary weight.

my 2000 gets 11mpg, due in part to the new ethonal standards. maybe giving it a tune up and checking tire presure, alighnment will help? and high miles effects fuel economy also.

It is perfectly aligned, I'll check the tire pressure but I doubt that will be his. And your 2000 still has the same gas mileage?
