Probably the O2 sensor. Have you checked that yet?

try temp sensor......since it shows a big affects to the gas mileage....mine has a pretty bad gas mileage too....but i just hate to change it around .....

Maybe the amount of coolant is a big factor too....don't overtop the coolant....top it in a pretty good mixture of water and coolant.....

This is from my experiences

make sure you're calculating mileage correctly - my car said empty, i filled her up, and it only said 12 gallons - so there's probably around 3-4 gallons in reserve.
