I got a 2003 Toyota Celica GT. Recently I notice my car been losing gas milage. One day, I decided get a oil change and fuel system cleaning same time. Afterward, With a "full fuel tank", I can drive for up to 76 miles before I would lose "one bar" on my fuel signal. Then driving for another 25-30 miles, I would start losing another "bar". Then another 25 miles, I would lose it again. What would cause me to lose a "bar" every 25 miles even though I just got my fuel system cleaned? I know for sure I dont have a fuel leak. Do I have to replace any fuel parts? Any advice?

Might be needing a tune-up-start here if you can't recall when.

The bar is not a very accurate gauge of the fuel consumption. If you really want to test the fuel consumption, you would have to use the odometer and a full tank to start with.
