Can bad Fuel Pressure regulator reduce mileage ?

OK..I have worked on many different type engines in my life, Aircraft,Motorcycle, Automobile, Diesel, and Now have a problem with excessive fuel usage in my small car,in cold weather, I know winter time will cause every vehicle to lose 2 maybe 3 miles per gallon due to blend of fuel,and engine not heating up properly....I also am smart enough to check tire pressure, Air Filter,have new oil change, new Platinum plugs, car starts great, runs fine, no warning lights come on to indicate trouble.....
I even placed a sheet of cardboard in front of HALF my radiator to try to keep cold air from comming in cooling down the radiator to help the computer sense warm water temp and ambient air temp inside engine compartment .I know how to check for mileage driven and gallons used,I drive the EXACT same every day, Fill up at the same Marathon station, I still get 9 miles per gallon less in the city....Hwy driving same.
My fuel pressure regulator has NO schrader valve to check pressure. Whats up?

You mentioned some maintenance, doing all maintenance may help. I dunno if your car has an in-line fuel filter. Check the fuel pump's flow & psi. You can check it anywhere, just disconnect before the fuel rail or any place that's ez to reach.

FourStroke Engine $141.79 Today, internal combustion engines in cars, trucks, motorcycles, aircraft, construction machinery and many others, most commonly use a fourstroke cycle. The four strokes refer to intake, compression, combustion (power), and exhaust strokes that occur during two crankshaft rotations per working cycle of the gasoline engine and diesel engine. The cycle begins at top dead center (TDe, when the piston is farthest away from the axis of the crankshaft. On the intake or induction stroke of the piston, the piston descends from the top of the cylinder, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. A mixture of fuel and air is forced (by atmospheric or greater pressure) into the cylinder through the intake (inlet) port. The intake (inlet) valve (or valves) then close(s), and the compression stroke compresses the fuelair mixture. The airfuel mixture is then ignited near the end of the compression stroke, usually by a spark plug (for a gasoline or Otto cycle engine) or by the heat and pressure of compression (for a Diesel cycle or compression ignition engine). The resulting pressure of burning gases pushes the piston through the power stroke.

Aircraft Diesel Engine by Jody, Iosias [Paperback] $122.67 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The aircraft diesel engine or aero diesel has not been widely used as an aircraft engine. Diesel engines were used in airships and were tried in aircraft in the late 1920s and 1930s, but never caught on in a major fashion. Its main advantage is its excellent specific fuel consumption and the somewhat higher density of its fuel, but these advantages have been outweighed by combination of its inherent disadvantages compared to gasolinefueled or turboprop engines, and the accidents of history. The everrising cost of avgas and doubts about its future availability have spurred a resurgence in aircraft diesel engine production in recent years.

Is Air travel really safe?

In the past a DC10 suffered an engine falier the one in the tail the front fan sattered severing all three Hydrolic lines all Hydrolic fluid was lost making the flight controls useless the pilots made it to the Airport by useing Engine thrust to control the plane but it crashed arfter the crash Airliners were supost to have shut off valves to stop the loss of Hydrolic Fluid but years later a A300 over Baghdad was hit by an SA-14 it damaged all three Hydrolic lines like the DC10 all Hydrolic fluid was lost and the flight controls were useless
just like the DC10 what this points to is if a DC10 and similer Aircraft suffer an engine falier
the one at the back of the plane it may again loss all Hydrolic fluid making the flight controls useless can the DC10 and similer Aircraft stop the loss of all Hydrolic fluid if they suffer an engine falier at the back of the plane

Yes. It's much safer than riding in an automobile.
