can't figure out wtf with the car gas mileage problem!!!

I just had a tune up done to the car..95 GXE....cause of the gas mileage poblem I was having...full tank load lasts about 260 miles....fricken piece of **** now eats up more after the tune up...car only last up to like 213-220 miles. I'm starting to think the o2 sensor is really ****ed up but the check engine lite is not on so wat else could be wrong with it?

Have you tried changing the air filter and checking your tire pressure?

try checking the spark plug gap.
Don't go by what the box says about the gap being correct, get a gauge and check it yourself.
