Gas mileage is so tough to diagnose some times. I've got as good as 33-34MPG in the summer time using the AC on the highway and as bad as 19-21MPG in the fall and winter in the city. There are so many different things that can cause bad gas mileage and/or power loss. The biggest factor in MPG is driving habits, followed by the mechanical condition of the vehicle itself. Extra weight in the vehicle also hurts the car in many different performance and economy categories.

Besides dividing the miles driven by the gallons used, be sure to maybe write down a few tanks worth of numbers and average them out to get a better idea over the long term. This will help even out driving habits, weather and road conditions and different types of fuel used over the course of a few weeks to a month.

I've been posting a few threads lately related to fuel and power improvements and some of the changes I've made have helped out. Check them out, they may be able to help you a little.
sorry i missed this post. I share the same views that you've expressed here. thanks for sharing.

Never paid attention to that
