Consistently losing MPG
I had bought a 2002 Chevy Venture LS, 2wd, 3.4l 2 years ago with 74,000. It started out getting about 22 mpg but has consistently dropped over the past 2 years and is now currently at 18.5 mpg. Drive the same roads same driving habits. It has 102,000 miles on it now. I changed plugs, wires, fuel filter and air filter 2000 miles ago thinking it would make the mpg go up but it is still dropping. How should I go about troubleshooting the problem. There is no noticeable difference in how the engine runs and no cel. Thanks for the help.

There are many things that can affect mpg. They usually throw a code. O2 sensors, MAF sensors, vacuum leaks, etc. Keep checking everything and don't overlook the obvious.
