Gas mileage is determined by dividing the number of miles that you drive by the number of gallons that you use. To determine this number, you need to fill the gas tank to the top, drive and then when you need gas, fill the tank to the top again. It has nothing to do with days

It doesn't really matter how many gallons in how many days but really how many gallons per mile! There may not be anything wrong!

How many miles do you drive? I use more than that in one day with my truck.
Try to take it easy on the gas pedal, keep the right tire pressure, go the speed limit and take any junk in your car that you don't need out of it.

As the others have stated, it does not matter how many days you drive the car. You can drive it anywhere from 1 mile to 500 miles in 5 days. That's where you need to look. If you are using more gas than usual, there's a problem lying somewhere. I too had a '96 GA SE. They get fairly good gas mileage. That's all I can think of. Best luck!

Agree with the above post-ers about calculating gallons consumed and miles actually travelled. Offhand, suggest you should be in the 20-25 mile per gallon range, depending on your mix of highway and city miles, winter warm-ups in the driveway or other extended idling periods, etc.
The standard stuff always applies - make sure the car is in good mechanical tune, no 'check engine' lights, don't carry unnecessary weight in the trunk or elsewhere, keep tires aired up to spec, and perhaps best of all - use a light foot on the gas pedal.
Not a big fan of the add-on stuff, one type of which is mentioned above. Haven't heard of any astounding improvements in mileage from real-world, uncompensated purchasers. Plus, any savings in fuel have to be weighed against the cost of the accessory - which may end up taking thousands of miles to recoup if there is any benefit. If there were such a wiz-bang, no-muss no-fuss technology, I figure it would be installed as standard equipment from the factory.
