I don't think that the a bad BPV would have any effect on non-boost steady speed highway MPGs... as there is then no boost to leak.
Dragging brakes/p-brakes, injectors fouled, tire pressures low, roof racks?
A new tight engine will take a while to get to better MPGs. Lower compression ratios do reduce efficiency, no doubt about that.
AMM can probably be cleaned with 'plastics safe' electronic spray cleaner. Must not contain any lubricants or silicones. But might not be related at all. What do the plugs stay about this? (And 10% ethanol fuels will hit you 4 to 6% on MPGs.)
