full tank. getting only 250kms

Hey

I recently got a jdm rx7 (infini) 1988 from japan. For some reason, my car only gets 250kms (give or take a couple kms) on a full tank of gas. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on why this is happening. I kno rotaries consume a lot of gas, but it should not be this bad.

Wow, you guys get that from freeway miles or city? For freeway, I can get about 350km approximately, but if city, then only around 272, but I have also had tanks that only lasted about 250. It all depends on how you drive I think.
