Poor mileage after surgery

My saga continues.
After having head gasket, radiator and all hoses replaced, my mileage is about 21-22 mpg in combined driving. It was typically about 25 mpg on same 80 mile daily commute.
Was having bad mileage when head gasket went. Thought it was the coolant in the No 3 cylinder.
Check most of the simple things on Dean's list: tires are inflated (34 psi), hoses appear tight, no dragging brakes, spark plugs were reported good by mechanic (but I do not know which ones are in there), no ignition misses (but the car stumbles at cold start for about 10 seconds), No CEL, temp at 8:30 -9:00 (new thermostat in with new radiator)
Am taking back to mechanic this week. What should we be looking for next???
THanks, Rob
