Your flashpoint was fine, so there isn't any measurable fuel here. The additives don't look diluted either, which is a symptom of fuel contamination. We're not seeing any possible mechanical issue that might explain the poor gas mileage. Metals look okay compared to universal averages, which show typical levels of wear for this type of engine after ~2,900 miles of oil use. The viscosity isn't an issue. Run 700 miles again & resample."
