Horrible MPG in my recently gained 740GL 700

My '93 740(not a US model, driven by a K-Jetronic non-turbo engine) has a horrible MPG of 6.8 in city. It is said the car has been a gas for long.

The engine had just been rebuilt and it is powerful. The auto transmission works OK except a bit sticky.

Could anyone has any thought on it? Or I should post this at the 240 forum as no 740 in US us a K-jetronic? Any suggest is appriciated.
