Default fuel consumption?

hi all i have recentley finished a 2.0 conversion on my mk 3 xr2i and finally got it running right buut am only getting about 13 MPG was just wondering if anyone has any figure for what they are getting as im presuming it should not be anywhere near this bad (this is during normal driving also.) it was running a bit rich when i had the 1.8 in there but was still managing about 28 MPG. Anyone any ideas on what could be wrong also.
