Welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like you have done everything that can be done. I will say that with nearing 100,000, things have worn in the engine that can lead to fewer MPG. Engine compression lowers which can cause it. The timing chain has most likely stretched a bit, which can slightly change engine timing. How much of a change has the been?

Let me know.
