Also, check if your brakes are seized...or air in the brake line.
Dragging brakes can also affect your fuel economy.
Is there check engine light? Maybe the CEL light bulb burnt out and you don't know if there is a CEL.
Are the fuel injectors stuck open? Try running seafoam or other fuel injector cleaners.
Are the oxygen sensors working?
Are the spark plugs good?
Are the tires the right size? Are they inflated as per the sticker?
Does your wife, girlfriend, mistress, kid, housemate, etc take it out for a ride without you knowing?
There are so many factors that can impact it....
