I got major low gas millage lately
 
Before, I used to get 25+mpg, even when I used AC in ther summer, I would get 24+

However, lately, I've been getting low 19-22mpg. I haven't make any changes at all. And sometimes I can smell the gas vapor while driving. Can anyone tell me what may be the problem?

I just remember that I just put on a set of 18". But that wouldn't cause that big of a problem can it?

check your timing

I was thinking if it's related to the spark plugs or anything.

spark plugs dont do much to gas milage
change them if taht makes u feel better. not that expensive

heavier rims, winter is colder therefore need for more fuel to mix with the denser air. check the air pressure in the tires lately?

I just did today, they're all good.

I guess what u're saying is prolly the only reason I can think of. But what worried me is that gas vapor that I smell quite often lately.

Test your O2 and Coolant Temp. sensors.
