Default 2005 Civic - Bad mileage

I have a 2005 Civic 1.7L with 165k miles. It's getting bad gas mileage. I was thinking of replacing the O2 Sensors and the MAP sensor. Comments, any suggestions?

Its my granddaughters car and she does not track her gas mileage so I don't know exactly but she is complaining and thinks its pretty significant. We got the car a few years ago so I don't know a lot about its history. I replaced the timing belt, axles, brakes, cam position sensor and front suspension. All that stuff was original so I assume everything else is too. I am thinking maybe the o2 sensors, MAP sensor and maybe the coils should be replaced.

You should also check of the EGR plate/EGR valve needs to be cleaned out.

Add spark plugs (use OEM NGK) and air filter to your list. Check for sticking brake calipers. Check tire pressure.
