Maybe running a bit rich, otherwise it is within range.

1) Check that your airfilter and exhaust are clean. Check carbon on head and get a clean plug.
2) Check your main jet, should be #65
3) Check your needle jet position, should be at nominal (which is the forth position from the top.)

I get this question a lot, this is going in tech docs. You should be getting close to 50 miles per tank. That's closer to 100 MPG.
