Any chance you have a brake dragging?

I wish it were that simple Mark .

I've been unhappy with the fuel economy since the engine overhaul .

As soon as the clear plastic intake screen remains 100 % clean, I'll yank the injectors and pop test them, then check the injection pump timing, maybe even do a compression test although it starts *instantly, has terrific throttle response  and so on so I doubt any low compression issues .

AC used, mixed city & freeway driving, 383 miles, 20.2 MPG ~ this is awful . my Wagon gets better fuel economy than this thing does .

A little bit of fungus crud in the primary intake screen, I ran all over town looking for another one but couldn't find so I cleaned the old one with starting fluid as best I could in the filling station .

Low fuel lamp lit at 328 miles .

No smoke, I wonder what's the deal here .
