Default low mpg

as of lately my gsr has been running strange and sucking up a lot of gas. im doing an oil change next week, and replacing a valve cover gasket. theres a check engine light and i had it checked out and its that i need a new cat... but i dont think that should affect the mpg that much on it but i could be wrong.. any suggestions on what i should check and or replace?

If ure O2 sensor is bad. It will cause ure cat to go out from running to rich and give you bad gas millege.

your cat could be clogged, feel exhaust coming out of muffler with your hand, do a general tune up if needed, especially fuel filter.

I'm having the same problem with a 2001 GSR. Getting about 250mi/tank. Should be easily over 300.
