If it pulls to the right it could be alignment; it could also be low air pressure in tire(s), and as old as that car is, it could very well be a brake dragging problem. I'd look at psi first and brakes second, but then you never mentioned how well it runs.
i'd listen to frank on this 1 if you used to get alot better mileage. You would be surpised how many mpgs are lost from low tire pressure. I would go ahead with a tune up as well as the normal time it should be done is around 100k miles.
