T'other way around, plugged filters = lower mileage which never makes any sense
to be, how could less fuel make for lower mileage? Its true though, I've seen
it several times.

Marshall often said that clogged filters would, paradoxically, cause
higher MPG. Anyway, Larry said he changed them. (Though not, I
presume, the one inside the tank.)
Could failing injector return lines dribble enough to make that kind
of difference?
I too suspect Larry's new transmission, though, if the mileage drop
started right after it was put in. Just too much of a coincidence.
Linkage maladjusted so the shift points are wrong, maybe?
