Question Gas milage not as good as it was

i know its a truck and gas is not great i understand that but mine is about 1mpg off than it was. i have a little over 36K on the truck 2" level, regular tires size, cold air intake and a canned tune from Sct. been running all for amost 6+months, have plugs that i put in when the truck had about 10k on it. the plugs are one cooler than stock, and gapped at 32. i run only 89 octane because my truck seems to get best on that. any help. thought about replacing the plugs again.

i also run an Ethanol stabilizer normally with every thank full and normally works well

THANKS ALL

Pull your plugs and see if they are still gapped correctly.

Check your plugs. I know you just replaced them but mine were changed around 12K miles at the dealer to the new ones and were all gaped at .034. When I pulled them at 24K miles to replace (didn't know they were already replaced) my gas mileage was getting worse and my idle was horrible. I re gapped to .030 and put them back in but it was still bad. I put my new ones in all gapped at .030 and this returned my gas mileage back to normal. So the Sp-534's in mine only lasted 12K miles before I needed to replace. Hopefully these new ones last a little longer.
