Poor mileage S90-V90 1998

Poolman:
I will go thru the hoses carefully.
I will also check the color of the intake gasket.
My S90 has a very late manufacture date so maybe it has the good one.
Good advice on the T'stat in the airbox. I checked it several years ago and it was working. As I recall they fail in hot air condition.
Seems like that would improve my mileage.
I will check it again.

This poor mileage condition did not come on suddenly. It has existed for several years. Gas prices have stimulated my interest. It is possible that there is no problem with the car except it being a gas hog, compared with a 240. I have a very light foot.
