Haven't done logging my milege since I got new wheels and tires. From stock wheels and tires I did an inch up and now I have 215/45/17.

I was astonished to find 18 miles per gallon.

Need some help trouble shooting this.

Please gimmi some advices to start with.

Simple tuneup stuff, plugs/wires, air/fuel filters and shit like that are ALWAYS a good place to start, AFTER you assess how much of an effect your heavy right foot has on this situation... I just got back into the habit of logging my miles and I ONLY get gas when I am filling up, over the last 3 weeks, I have been 26.014, 27.096 and 26.035 MPG, and all is well on the beautiful white sands of San Clemente
