I knew I was in trouble the next morning when at 489 miles showing on the trip
meter the car really didn't want to start. This car has always fired
immediately upon cranking. I got it started and gently drove to the nearest gas
station. Changed both fuel filters the next day.
Yeah its a 2.2l 5spd. I was a bit ahead of myself saying 40mpg, it was more
like 38.

I believe the tanks hold 14.5gal so you kinda did run out. Is yours
a 2.2 5spd? We had a 1984 that got high 30s and up to 41mpg.
I only checked the 2.5 once back in December and it got 34.6 with
mixed driving.

While I am a big proponent of anti-seize, I agree with Robert's
assessment.
Another point often overlooked while torquing fasteners is to get the
threads clean and straight. Most instructions call for this but few
people pay attention. On critical fasteners (head bolts, etc.) I clean
the threads and then run a thread chaser before installing the fastener.
I know I'm anal, but if this is not done the torque reading means
nothing.

Yes, with anti seize reduce the torque by between 14-30% for accurate=20
torque depending on the antiseize compound. Contact the manufacturer of
the compound for recommendation.
Lugs usually aren't too picky, but threading spark plugs or glow plugs=20
or injectors into an aluminum head, that 30% will make the difference=20
between job done and helicoil.
