DPFE and fuel filter.

I'd swap out the plugs too.

bad tire (s), or under inflated tire (s) can affect your milage too. Too Much Weight added to the car like a roof mounted storage bin etc..

with gas prices over $1/Ltr I would not doubt that, there has been a rise in a few city across canada about gas theifts from personal cars lately as the price at the pump is going up.
