20mpg is terrible for a 2,000 lb car. Besides doing the engine checks above, jack the car up and make sure all the wheels spin freely. Dragging brakes can make that 2,000lbs feel like 4k. You might also check for fuel leaks - which all 914's get. Be sure to check the fuel lines under the tank (you can usually smell a leak).

I get around 30mpg when I drive normally and a little better when I drive like I'm supposed to.
