You don't mention any perfomance issues that might account for such crappy mileage (my '88 900S with 333,000 miles still gets 27-30 in mixed city hwy commute), so I wonder how you're measuring fuel efficiency. Is your odometer accurate? Have the dispensers at your regular gas station been metered/inspected recently? The latter is not mere paranoia; I took an empty 5 gal gas tank to my local BP last summer, filled it to the mark, and found that the meter registered 6.2 gallons in. I was refunded the difference but, notably, the pump was not taken out of service on that day. Bottom line, it happens.
Odometer malfunction? Slippage at either end of the speedo cable could lead to fewer miles recorded per actual miles traveled, ergo, low(er) mpg.
Check your metrics first and let us know what you find.
