Thanks in advance,

spark plugs, wires, run injector cleaner through it, air filter, run sea foam through the intake

check your tire pressure too, that can have a big influence on gas mileage...AC hurts it too

Check your tire pressure, clean out your injectors, check your air filter, basically just do a thorough check of your car and make sure everything's okay.

When was the last time you changed your oil?

If you milage is that bad, I would check out the following sensors

1. O2
2. Engine coolant Temp

If they check out, check for a leaking inejector. your Vss may be bad (are your RPMs higher than normal)

do you have a fuel leak?

I am pretty sure there are no leaks. Would get O2 and coolant temp checked out. Would also try sea foam.

Thanks.
