Poor Gas Mileage Approx 200 Miles Help

Hi,
I have Avalon 2001 xl. I get approx 200 miles from full to the second last mark of empty gas tank. I have changed oil, transmission oil, timing belt, air filter.
What's wrong ? Thanks


What is your gas mileage ? Thanks

Is the check engine light on?, if it is, get whatever the problem is fixed.

Did you check the timing after the timing belt change? Did you change the spark plugs or use the recommended spark plugs? NGKs? What are your driving habits? Have you checked your tires for air and wear? I get 21/22 for city and 27/28 for highway driving. My car has over 213,000 miles on it.

23mpg on a daily basis, 29mpg on the road recently.
Highest was 32mpg when almost new - on premium gas.
