I have been using this vehicle for the past five years and have maintained very well with all the services. But for the past couple of months I have been seeing a very low mileage and when I was at local walmart for an Oil Change, I was suggested to do an engine flush to see improvement, but even after that I don't see any big difference. Can someone let me know what could be a problem with the low mileage? I was in Ohio before and moved to Atlanta, GA a year back and I know that GA has a 10% mandatory ethanol in the gas but don't know if that could be a reason for low miles per gallon?

An engine flush will do next to nothing for gas mileage. Next time they ask you if you want an engine flush, say no.

Anyways on to your problem; when is the last time you did a tune-up? If you can't remember it is probably time to get one done! If it was done recently, I would bring it into a shop and have the oxygen sensors scoped out as well as a few other critical sensors on your engine.
