What kinda gas you put in your car? 93 octane burns faster. Change your fuel filter and check your sensors.

I get about the same miles on my car also but the only thing different is that I am constantly flooring it and its also a auto. I use 92 octane here which is the highest unless I get the 100 octane which very very few places have that gas.

Miles per tank is not a meaningful measure of fuel consumption. Miles per gallon is. Make a careful record of gallons bought and odometer reading at each purchase. After five or six fuel fills you will have an accurate number.
