Default Fuel Pump Change

I have a 99 RX300 AWD with 96500 miles and I only get about 200 miles to a tank of gas. I know the fuel filter is integral with the fuel pump which is under the fuel tank. Being as its never been changed should I replace the pump? If so whats a good place with a good price for a fuel pump? Thanks in advance for the help.

John

Also what are some other things I should look at for better gas mileage, 200 miles to a tank doesnt seem good for highway and a little around town driving?

That's probably not it. I think the E10 gas we have in Florida is causing a lot of MPG issues. I just came back from Mexico and my little RX runs in the 20s, though about 2 MPG less since I got here, despite testing due to recent introduction of this gas. Also depends on your driving habits and summer heat affecting combustion.

I live in Phoenix, AZ where its a very dry hot heat. Well if you dont think changing the pump and filter will change anything then i am not going to waste the money to do it. haha
