Steve- Have you/they pulled any diagnostic codes, checked fuel pressure,
checked tail-pipe emmisions, and checked for vacuum leaks? One possible
(easy) fix could be a dead-headed fuel pressure regulator which would
send the fuel pressure sky-high; mpg's way low. A simple r&r would solve
that.
Let us know what you find,
