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?

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.
