Pull codes and find out whats going on in the computer.

Of course, there are other factors, such as, running the a/c will drop your mileage off the charts, etc.

i dont use the ac because i know that does kill the milage, i dont have the money to take it in and check the codes, unless advance auto parts or napa does it free. right now i have a CATALYTIC CONVERTER the was on a 76 chevy nova because i dont have the money for a new one, no muffler, everything else is preety much stock

By all means, phone your auto supply, ask about pulling codes. It's a crap shoot. Normally, they can and will pull codes for free, but it must be timed just right, i.e. a slow customer period and a guy that knows how to read them.
