Question Gradually Increasing MPG

As I have been able to repair more and more things on my 300D I have been driving it more. When I picked the car up it was getting a pretty miserable 19 MPG. This last week I put 700 miles on the old girl and it eeked out about 25 MPG more or less the same driving type and breakdown (city/hwy). How about the rest of you guys out there that have brought back some of the luster of your cars. Have you noticed an increasing MPG while dusting off the mothballs?
