try adding a Fuel Injection Cleaner, And also check your PCV valve it might be stook closed, and check if the oxygen sensor is working properly, you can clean the mass air flow sensor that can help some what , and make sure you replace the fuel filter .
If it's burning gas as fast as you suspect it is, there ought to be visible emmissions...cloud of black smoke following you around is there ?

ok so you said it was right after the lowering. but was all this done near the same time? because just lowering it wont cause your mileage to drop like that with a good alignment. how did you clean the throttle and what parts did you clean? how did you reset the ecu? im betting it was one of these or the o2 that is doing it.
Gasoline have 2 blends, winter blend and summer blend. With winter blend gas your vehicle will get lower MPG since its formulated to aid in cold starts and aid in gasoline vaporization. Summer blend gas does not vaporize well in winter season. Lower MPG is partly due to the lower BTU rating of the winter blend gas as well.
Besides the gas blends taking a toll on your MPG other factors such as lubricants, road conditions, and more accessories being turned on during the winter will have significant toll on MPG.
Almost forgot to mentioned, lowering a vehicle will throw off alignment reading since the vehicle's ride height and suspension geometry is altered from stock. Remember alignment specs are for stock factory specd vehicles.
