toss in an 02 sensor, pcv valve and valve adjustment. sometimes just a single valve out of adjustment can cause decreased gas mileage.. tire psi can decrease gas mileage. winter weather burns more gas but not to the extent that your car is using it.

Check tire pressures would be the easiest thing to do first.
