Gas Mileage Dropped a lot, Carb cleaner?

Hey Guys,

I have noticed on my last two tanks of gas, my gas mileage has dropped by almost 50 gallons when the gas light comes on. I am going to change my fuel filter and have my injectors cleaned. I just cleaned my throttle body a month ago.

I need to clean my IACV. I searched and saw someone on the board post that he emptied a bottle of carb cleaner in his throttle body (with the car on) in order to clean the TB and get the grim out of the engine. Then he used Duralube.

Is this safe to do? The suggested this to clean the O2 sensors. Please let me know
