check for a leak.
also, how are you calculating?
Do you have stock rims (holy crap that would have to be a crazy size to throw it off that far)
so you tow large animals around?
more information.. but really.. go smell / look around for a leak...

When was the last time it had a full tune-up?
spark plugs (and gap), spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, oil, oil filter . . . all have an effect. Is there a check engine light?
