worst gas mileage after fuel filter change?

what can cause this? it kinda makes sense that i use more gas after replacing the fuel filter cause there is less fuel flow ristriction but i think i was getting 360miles/tank and now i might be just at 300 or lower.

Why did i change it again?

What else should i check for poor gas mileage?

That doesn't make sense, you should be getting better mileage, and better performance!

Is the fuel filter you used as a replacement a Nissan part, or some other manufacturer?
