Have you always driven that engine like that since it was rebuilt? Maybe the rings are broken in yet?

I will try accelerating more to get up to speed with my next tank refill, to see if it increases. When the engine was just rebuilt I did drive differently, since everyone told me that it did need to struggle less, and get in more rps. Plus as much vacuum as possible, as in getting up to 60mph and letting go of throttle, having the engine brake the car with vacuum. And getting some high rpms in once and a while. That is how most people told me to break in the engine.
