I had mentioned the possibility of vacuum leaks to the mechanic also and he said he looked it
over pretty carefully.
I would think that gross vacuum leaks would also make it idle very fast, which it does not.
With a turbo, the vacuum leaks would be overcome by the boost pressure making it more normal at
higher speeds, which it seems to be, but the instantaneous gas mileage is running around 16
or more which seems like something is definitely wrong.
I'll mention vacuum leaks again to him on Monday when I go over there.
