I had no preheater hose on my 90 240DL with the similar b230f engine. Didn’t affect the gas mileage on my car. Just a rougher idle when cold.

With automatic transmission that car got low 20’s in town and 26-28 mpg on the highway. Remember once I got 30 mpg on the highway and I was thrilled! As I recall, 240’s are at least 200lbs lighter than 940’s.

I suggest double-checking your brake calipers. Make sure they are not sticking or “dragging”. Stuck calipers can be hard to notice and will affect your gas mileage,
