gas mileage

Within the last 3 months I have got a tuneup(plat. plugs), fuel system cleaned, and a new set of wheels and alignment. I was normally getting 250-300 mls on a tank of gas. The last few fill ups I'm down to around 200 mls. I live on the gulf coast of MS so weather isn't much of a factor. Is this something that happens from time to time or is there something I should be looking for? My exhaust needs some work but has for some time. Any thoughts? THANKS!

I'll bet you went to a wider tire too.
that's probably where your mileage went.

kept the tire size the same. just wondering if my exhaust has gotten bad enought to affect the mileage. doesn't sound that bad but had a clamp and meshing part fall off my pipes. can't wait to get some tax money back

just new tires, not new rims. just went another round and still around the 200ml. mark. For internetauuto I dropped you a email with some exhaust and strut parts questions. Did you get it ?
