Answer
Well a lot of poor gas mileage can be caused by ethonal gas. It takes a toll on fuel mileage. Tire pressure should also be set correctly to factory spec (in the door jam) Also oxygen sensors are the modern day tune up and should be replaced. If the throttle body has not been cleaned i would clean it,
