respectively, what else would be helpful to  know?

Stephan,
I suggest that you first consider reducing the jet sizes back to stock  
0.050s. Set the timing at 14deg BTDC.  Then make a fuel consumption check  on a 50 
+ mile trip at some nearly constant speed such as 60 mph. A whole  tankfull 
trip would be better. Make sure that your tank doesn't leak any (due to  a 
failed filler hose). 
Then let us know how you are doing.
 
Regards,
