I am stock with an automatic. I mostly do city driving with some HWY driving. I live in san francisco and there are lots of hills here. The car has 26K miles. I checked the air filter and it looked fine. Should i do a tune up. The car sat in a garage most of its life. All service was done at local dealer. Any help please.

In addition to what Matt recommends, i'd like to add to make sure that you keep your tires properly inflated!
Idk, hopefully after replacing all those parts you'll gain some mileage because my car gives me 280-300+ miles on a tank regularly!
But thats still not great its only about 22 or 23 mpg...dissapointing for a 5sp FF 1.8L if you ask me.

Seriously? Do you do a lot of stop-and-go driving? That's me everyday in L.A. traffic.In addition to what Matt recommends, i'd like to add to make sure that you keep your tires properly inflated!

Well I used to do a lot of stop-and-go back when my job required me to travel through rush hour traffic. Now I work in the total opposite direction. So when rush hour traffic is traveling south in the morning, i'm actually going north. Conversely, during the evening when rush hour traffic is going north, i'm heading back south. Works out very well for me.
Plus I live in the sububs so a lot of times the roads are open. From a stop light i'll gradually accelerate to cruising speed(usually between 30-50mph) and not have to really slow or stop until I encounter another red light. So basically the most stop-and-go i'm doing is when I get caught at traffic lights.
