Default Mpg?
Over the past two months I have slowly lost about 5 mpg going from 15 to around 10 any ideas to what may have caused the loss ?

Any performance loss to go with that bad fuel economy ? Or is it running pretty much the same ?

Dirty mass air sensor, fuel filter, air filter, Also additives are added to gas in the winter and you can lose about 1 mpg right their.

I replaced my fuel filter last week and gained at least 2 mpg

winter blend gas dropped the gas mileage on my truck by about 2 mpg.

Don't forget air pressure in the tires. It drops 4-6lbs when it snaps cold.

It does seem as if it has a slight struggle when accelerating ... Thanks for all the input
