light foot 740twagon, 10mpg in town

Starts great, smooth, no gas odor, grandmother driven. no binding, tires ok, no smoke... well in normal driving, perhaps when revved high some black. Any short cuts to trouble shoot this brick. I have heard in town figures in thelow 20's, If I can get that it will save the car. On advice I've cleaned the AFM should I open it to check for dirt, bad joints? ta.



I get right around 20 even with most of that being a 3 mile commute. Something is wrong there, but I don't know what. Does the turbo boost work okay?

seems to, when I put the foot to it the boost goes about 1/2 into the boost zone but I shift( the automatic trans shifts) around 3000-3500 rpm. I'll have to double check a bit later ( car's not here), but that's my recollection.
