Bad muffler could be worth. 5 mpg.
Driveone Thanks this. -
It could be the manifold however you'd have to have a major blockage to cause bad mpg there are lots of other issues such as the speed you drive at for example a vehicle running at 55 mph will get around 9 mpg subtract at least .1 per gal for every extra mph you do to get a gauge for fuel economy. Recently Peterbilt ran a road test with their new model truck loaded at 66,000 lb @ 65 mph and got 10.7 mpg.Driveone Thanks this.

Check the intake side for boost leaks. A small one can cost you a bunch in MPGs. Really all kinds of things can suck your fuel down. The cold weather has cost me about 1 mpg.
