Angry sucking gas

in the past week or so ive noticed my truck sucking more gas then normal, it has a newer tune up, air filter, the check engine light is NOT on, i cant seem to figure out what is doing it, i also dont have any cats, so i know that cant be it, and it is a 89 5.0 regular cab 2wheel drive
