If that is in fact the problem, simply pop open the plastic connector housing and reverse the pins and snap it closed. Done.

What is a "trip cluster that indicates fuel consumption"? - I have no idea what you are talking about.

Isn't the economy gauge vaccuum actuated? maybe some kind of vaccuum line is somehow disconnected or reversed. ( if that's even possible)

It sounds like you knocked the cabin vacuum line loose - back of the intake manifold, and the vacuum aka economy gauge is reading zero. This will cause a vacuum leak.

did you check the vaccum lines right around the firewall closest to the engine?
