If you are dealing with an 8 valve vehicle, it may just be the weather. Due to the lack of an air mass meter, our K-Jet equipped cars, all five of them, all got around 3-5 mpg worse in the winter.
Or if you bought an overrestrictive exhaust it may do it. Check your air filter, timing, plug gap, cap, and rotor if they're worn.
8 valve vehicles include 1979-1984 turbo, 1979-1985 S, and 1979-1988 900 models.
We've always used factory exhausts. Sorry to sound Snaaby, but they last 4-5 years whereas the others seem to last around 18-25 months. They fit right and don't back up too much, as you may be seeing.
