Looking for some help on where to start. THere are no codes logged or stored in the PCM. Engine seems to run great but uses way too much fuel. Too much like 120 miles on a single tank. I believe I estimated it at about 11 mpg. Usually gets twice that. I have replaced the air filter and plugs. Not much help there. I though about changing the O2 sensors but at thier cost I want to make sure. Where could I start to look?

Most Common Fuel Wasters:

Loose or missing gas caps. 17 percent of U.S. Vehicles have a loose or missing gas cap. This allows an estimated 147,000,000 gallons of gas per year to evaporate into thin air.

Underinflated tires

Faulty thermostats

Worn spark plugs

Malfunctioning engine controls

Poor wheel alignment
