Default I am getting very poor fuel economy on my Honda Accord EX V6

I don't know how else to say this. My car is getting very poor fuel economy. It seems like I can almost see the fuel gauge gradually decreasing in fuel.
I filled gas tank on Monday and I did some driving around town and by Wednesday I had to fill up again.
Please, if you have any suggestions on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

I ran 237 miles on a full tank of gas.
I filled up a nearly empty fuel tank on Wednesday.

Where do you park, outside?

Make sure no one is siphoning your gas. You never know, with so many people unemployed during the pandemic, someone may be stealing your gas.

What's a full tank, how many gallons? put up actual numbers? 237 miles on 15 gallons, 12?
don't rely on fuel gauge.

Around town, V6 get sub 20 mpg easily. you drove 240 miles in town in 3 days? if it's anything like deliveries, then yea - sounds about right.
