wow I get close to 330 miles on a tank of gas with the AC blasting in my 2000 gt, that is if Im just highway cruising with out flooring it or driving it hard. Now if every where I go are short trips and I jump on the throttle every chance I get Id probly get less than 200 miles on a tank. It really makes alot of difference with these cars as to how you drive it.
Now if your not driving it hard and your just highway cruising with only 170 miles to a tank, I would suspect the MAF is dirty, or the ect is faulty. Get the computer read to see if the PCM has ever stored a lean or 02 code. 02 sensor failure will cause a dramatic drop in mpg.
