Default HORRIBLE MPG!!!

Motor has no more than 62k Miles and it's always been maintained and recently, I've been getting horrible gas mileage. About 16-17mpg to be exact. WTF? I use to get 23-24mpg. WTF happened? Maybe my primary o2 sensor is going out? I don't have a cel or anything. No clue, anyone have the same problem?

do the normal routine maintainence...plugs/cap/rotor/fuel filter/maybe wires

o2 sensor could be old and on its way out too depending on how old it is.....

It's your o2. At least that is part of your problem b/c that is terrible gas milage. I got about 15mpg b4 I changed mine about 2 weeks ago. Sparkplugs.com denso OE.
