Default Help please

I have a 2.0l Sierra station wagon (later model - Saphire shape).
I have just redone the head after it blew a head gasket (due to poor workmanship of the previous owner)
I have also rebuilt the Weber Carb and have set it up according to the Haynes manual.

I cannot get this thing to run economically. Its currently running at about 6km/l (16l/100km)

What is the typical economy of these cars and does anyone have any suggestions to make it any cheaper to run.

I am from South africa and we are currently paying R6.36/l (or something close to this) for petrol, and this is costing me a fortune to run.

Any help would be apreciated.
