Default Help with 1996 protege low mileage

Hey ppl, Newbie here.
I have a 1996 Protege 1.5 LX Auto. Its a nice car. Its supposed to be economical, but the mileage on mine is just 25mpg. I drive about 40miles everyday, most of it on the freeway, just 6miles on surface street. The car has just over 100K miles on it.
Is this normal or should I change the Air filter, oxygen sensor or something else?
Thanks.

I have a 1996 ES with a 1.8L, and I get around 23mpg. 28mpg if it is all highway. I am not easy on the gas.
