I have been getting between 20-22 mpg down from about 25 in my 1990 9KT. I have my theories. I think it is a combination of these things I have listed: Winter gas, new tires (higher rolling resistance), more warm-up time in the morning, colder denser air, more resistance with cold oil in the morning (engine and tranny). I just added a fuel injector cleaner in hopes that might help, and my air filter is only about a year old, but this summer they repaved the street and there were some very dusty days for about 2-3 weeks. That is about all I am going to do until the weather is a bit more conducive to poking around under the hood.
