just to let you know, your water temp is probably causing your fan to kick in, which reduces your MPG because you're powering the fan through your alternator which gets power from the fuel. That's how it works in my 05 corolla and the 98's probably arent all that different.

Try purposely overheating your car over 200+ degrees and pop the hood and see if your fan isn't running....
