Guzzeling Gas

Ok guys....got a problem

My trucks gas mileage is down to under 13 mpg....I normally get closer to 14 under the same driving conditions.

plugs and wires are 35,000 miles, and all filters are up to date. gas is good and I have tried injector cleaner.

what should I look at....only problem on the truck has a rattle under acceleration...but I am sure that is in the cat.

thanks in advance

you always get a little worse mileage in the winter. the cold air allows more fuel to enter. its not unusual for gas mileage to fluxuate. i would get anywhere from 21-24 in my old ranger.

it might be your driving style. I went from 14 to 16 just by driving nicer
