When I first bought this vehicle I was getting over 15 miles per gallon. Over the last year the milage has dropped to about 13.5. There are no other symptoms. The vehicle runs fine. What would cause this change.

check for an exhaust leak. add some fuel system cleaner to the tank of gas and give it a tune up.

also check the pressure in the tires.
