I had a problem like that caused by a failing O2 sensor.<
Did your on-board diagnostics catch that? So far I haven't gotten a Check Engine light.

OBD may not catch a lazy O2 sensor. If they have over 80,000 miles on them just change them. Shop around for best price but use name brand such as Bosch. Amazon and ebay often have killer deals on new name brand parts. BTW everything else being good the easiest thing you can od to improve mileage (after all the common things) is to upgrade drive train lubes to full synthetics.

No, the on-board diagnostics didn’t catch it. I just noticed that I was going from about 300 miles per tank down to 260. It turned out that the O2 sensors on that make and model were problematic for that make and model.
