i have a 5 speed 200sx.
have you tried cleaning your fuel injection lines?

a stuff called kgb (i think it is) it's like 20 bucks at the auto part store. but it's worth the 20. it really does help. also check things like your o2 sensor, wires, plugs, etc.. a good tuneup will help your mileage. i get about 26 mpg right now (if i could get my car started)
