As the title says i have a 08 cobalt 2.2 and ive noticed a pretty good drop at least 100kms a tank, anyway i did troll threw some older posts ans saw to check/change my plugs/wired and fuel filter. Is their anything else that could cause this and yes i checl tire pressure and just changed my oil and air filter.

Its cold out and that will lower your mileage. Bad gas can lower your mileage. More idling and sitting in traffic can lower it. O2 sensor going bad?

1 tank of gas isn't enough to make a decent judgement.
