If you want to increase your MPG get rid of the very non aero dynamic bumpers which will be increasing your wind resistance seriously!
Put smaller light wheels on
Remove any Engine Mods
Drive at 50Mph
Drive in the highest gear possible without the engine struggling
....nah didnt think you would wanna!

I have a 1.0 12V '98 corsa and get 450miles out of a tank before i get scared of going dry.
Check your spark plugs in case they are all not firing
Check your Air Filter.
Check for leaks!

New Plugs, leads, filters, checked for leaks, and changed injector, and everything else that is part and parel of petrol intake e.t.c.
Ive even took it to about 3 garages and they can't seem to understand whats up with it !
