That's super-low mpg for that car, maybe your timing belt slipped a tooth. Mine did that and ran a tiny bit funky (almost unnoticeable) but it killed my mpg. As soon as I re-timed it the mpg shot back up.

I'll have to see, the cam belt was last serviced a few years agoa long with new water pump and thermostat. It does ping when my foot goes past 1/4 throttle in any gear at any speed which i find rather odd...
