How many miles to the gallon are you getting?

I know the sending units on the fox body's go out frequently, mine did on my '87 GT. This could fix your gas gauge. As far as the gas situation, the motor has close to 200k miles, you have a 302, and your running the AC........welcome to the wonderful world of V8's.

So many things affect fuel mileage.
Do your fuel injectors have 199K on them?
How about catalytic converters? Oxygen sensors? EGR system?
Have you ever cleaned your MAF?
When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced?

Hey Check out all the main things that would rob your fuel. LIke the air filter, spark plugs and wires, Air in the tire, and then run some of that fuel injector cleaner in there. On a full tank. Dont use that shit to much though it can mess some shits up so im told.
