Exclamation Re: Gas Mileage

The PT has a 15 gal. tank. and based on hitting the gas station almost immediately once the yellow gas pump icon lights and pumping 13.3 gallons we can conclude that our trip od should NOT be showing 160 mi. driven. I have almost 2 gal. left for an avg. mpg of 12.3 or so. My car was in storage 26 months and I've only been driving it since late July. I'll have the dealer to look into it. I'm hearing vacuum leaks, boost leaks, plug gaps, and wiring as possibible culprits.
Lets go with MSD coil, Granitelli wires, and Iridium plugs gapped to.32 -.35 and go the dealer for the vacuum and boost checks. I check the tire inflation at fill up time. Anything else?
