I'm worried about the transmission service that the dealer performed and that it's now hesitating to go into 5th gear, does the transmission slip at all? That would cause loss of gas mileage. Have you changed the fuel filter? Also cause a of loss of gas mileage. Giving your car antibiotics doesn't really work such as fuel additives ect. The best thing to give your vehicle is the best of everything premium fuel would be a good start.
