Crossover pipe leak = decrease in mpg?

I'm wondering if there is a relationship between my noticable decrease in MPG (went from ~500+ mile/tank to about 280) and my cracked x-over? Needless to say, I'm replacing the crossover ASAP, I'm just a bit curious...

Wow guys, my stock car did around 28-29 mpg cruising on the highway coming home.
I get 26 around town.
Now my 88S with MAF/everything was getting 280 per tank, and that was from my heavy foot.

My 951, with all manner of Vitesse goodies (Stage II turbo, MAF) and a S2 r&p just averaged 26 mpg highway from KC to Vegas and back. And yes, I got into it a *few* times on the way...
Cross over pipe leaks *should* impact fuel mileage, as thats whats driving your turbo, which in turn is designed to increase the efficiency of the engine...![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
