could be a problem with:

MAF sensor
O2 sensor
intake leak

plus other stuff

How do you know it is running rich...?? can you get it on a rolling road or a select monitor to see where the problem is..?

Question

Whats the car?
Whats the sort of mileage your getting out of it per tank?
What sort of driving are you doing? (ie town, mixed or motorway)
Which fuel are you using?

could be an o2 sensor problem... but if you get it looked at properly they will be able to confirm it or not..

Ooooops sorry, blind as a bat
210 out of an MY96 aint too bad to be honest with you for the driving you do (even though its a sport) as firstly they only have a 50ltr fuel tank, mixed driving probably wont see more than around 25mpg to start with and town driving (even in a sport) is going to be around 20mpg.
(50ltr tank BTW is approx 11 gal).
