Default MPG update, and a leather seat question

After putting Fuel Injector cleaner and Fuel System cleaner through, I got 210 miles on a full tank, which went from 14 MPG to 16.6 MPG, is that still low for my 97 GT?

My driver seat is pretty bad on one side, nice hole there. So, Im thinking about re-leathering all the seats, so that way they all look new instead of one patch on my driver seat. Smart? Not Smart? Price range? Any info appreciated.

thanks

Brad

Leather seats is gonna cost ya. No less than 500 bucks, and that's probably an underestimate anyway. Mods are in the sig and I do about 3/5ths highway and 2/5ths city, I get about 240 miles to a tank. Usually about 17-18 mpg. Bu I keep my foot on the floor. I drove all "normal" 2 weeks ago and got 20.44 MPG

If it makes you feel any better I'm getting 190 miles on a tank... all city driving.
All highway driving I get about 310 miles.

I have 4.10 gears.

Hmmm....seems about right, maybe. I get around 210 on mostly city driving. Not sure on highway...last time I did a ton of straight highway, I refilled when I was down to 1/4 tank and I'd gone right around 300 to 310 miles. Mods are in sig.
