Both my wife's '90 90Q20V and my '89 100Q get about the same 10 L/Km
(25 mpg) out of our cars. We both drive fairly spirited, and have been
using the A/C a lot these days.

What did you used to get? A sudden change in fuel consumption in a
short period of time is either a sign of an engine problem developing
or a crummy tank of gas.
