Could be a lot of things. Air Filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor may need to be replaced. Could be inproper tire preasure. I would try the easy ones first. Also if its cold out and you let it warm up longer that could also be part of it. All winter I was getting 14 mpg consitintly now that it started warming up Im getting 16 consitently and have gotten as good at 19.

Mine started getting 15 mph when I was used to around 20, so I took it in to the shop and it ended up being blown fuel injectors. Once those were replaced I got back up to 20+mpg. Its a possibility, though my check engine light was on when it happened.
