extremely bad gas mileage all of a sudden...
used to get 400+/- miles per tank so roughly 100 miles per quarter tank. now i'm barely at 120 miles on the odometer and i'm almost at half tank... any suggestions? i changed my air filter yesterday so waiting to see if that does anything...

Re: extremely bad gas mileage all of a sudden...
no CEL's I assume? Do you by chance live in an area where they switch to a winter mix of gas? These typically yield worse mileage. Also if it's gotten cold, this will also drop you mpg's.
