hi guys, i have a problem with my gas milage, it seems that i am doing about 8 mpg, i noticed this after my fuel pump and tank was replaced. i was just wondering if it could be something like theres no pressure in my tank or air getting inside or maybe a vacuum leak somewhere, any advice would be good, if someone can just point out some thing for me to check or do would be nice

thanks

Check the fuel pressure if its within specs-if not could be a leaky injector/s and fuel pressure regulator, coolant temperature sensor locked in open loop mode, oxygen sensors and restricted fuel return line-
