I would add to the above to look for vacuum leaks on your vacuum hoses--this will kill gas milage-any air leaking into the systems will send the engine into a rich situation-knock sensors helped mine when I changed them out last year, but vacuum leaks are the worst on fuel metering--check down below on the last one I just found. Change out all the rubber vacuum short hoses that are connected to your plastic hoses on your engine is a start, snoop around with a hose to your ear and see if you have any air entering anywhere.
Change your air filter, check your plugs-have you changed your O2 sensor since you have had the car-the front one is the most important one .
Hope that helps
