First thing to check is the engine air intake filter. Clogged, the engine will suck up gas like a sponge.

What do the plugs look like ? A drop in milage and performance may be a head gasket going bad . It could also be bad information , what they say it gets may be different from reality . Figure out your actual milage and go from there .
