Terrible fuel economy?

X reg 9-3 2ltr turbo (205E) with 54k on the clock. Dealer maintained until recently.

Just fitted a new turbo and although I can't remember what sort of mpg I used to get I'm now getting just under 20mpg which seems a bit thirsty, even though I only do short trips (4 miles x 3 or 4 times a day).

I'm a very sedate driver and don't let the engine struggle at all.
Do you guys think that I could improve the mpg? if so, what do you suggest? ........ or maybe it is normal? it just seems to be doing much less than it used to.

Any advice/recommendations appreciated.
