Re: 20mpg average for 1987 Turbo wagon? 700 1987

Twenty is what I WAS getting up to a couple of months ago. It turned out that I was developing a gasket leak, so the mileage slowly dropped down to the 15 mpg area. That's when I brought it into the shop, and they discovered and fixed the gasket leak. over tat same weekend, I also replaced the top turbo hose and air filter.

...but something's gone wrong, and I am stumped. It runs great, but my gas mileage has totally tanked (no pun intended). I'm talking around 8 mpg! It looks like everything's hooked up OK, and I'll be bringing the car back into the shop on Tuesday for them to check.

Would that fuel-pressure-regulator thing cause a sudden drop like that?
