Question:
Over the last 2 months, my milage per tank of gas has dropped quite a bit. I never got much in the first place (1994 Mazda MPV with a V6), like 450-500 to a tank. But now I'm barely able to get 330 before I have to fill up again. I haven't had a tune up in a while which may be one reason but might be some other reasons?

When you do the tune up also try to replace as many filters as you can, the air filter, the gastank filter, and one thing that if your car is fuel injection get the fuel injection maintenace. The jiffy lube can do it for like $182, this has to be done every 50K miles to maintain superb conditions on your vehicle, I have an old car and I mantain it and I still get pretty good mileage.Another sign of poor mileage is your tires. If they need air that might be another reason why your car is doing bad on gas. When the tires are not full they tend to struggle more to drive making th car heavy.

Spark plugs, oil change, tyre pressure, tune up there are many factorsthe aerodynamics, if you've had a roof-rack or cycle carrier fitted. the tyre pressure,and the way you accelerate. if you set off faster, or drive everywhere quickly. having the windows open on motorway journeys, not using fifth/cruise on long journeys.book your car in for a service and get a diagnostic done, it could also be choked up with carbon from emissions, take on motorway and give it a good fast run this sometimes is all that's needed.

Not being an expert on this (as with most here) let me take a layman's shot at this.If it's fuel injected, that could be a issue. Also old spark plugs and wires might need replaced.
If you know someone that really knows what they are doing, replacing your spark plug and wiring may not be too overwhelming.
If it's your fuel injectors, pay a little extra for a certified mechanic. That way if they screw it up more, you have some sort of recourse.
Lets say you invest 500 into upgrades. You will easily get that back in no time with gas prices the way they are today. Good Luck!
What does the Fram CA3717 air filter fit?
First get a tune up. And get the spark plugs changed and the spark plug wires. Get a oil change. Change the filters, dont floor it any more cause that sucks down allot of gas. But first change the spark plugs because think about it, you got 6 cylenders and if you have a bad spark plug than your other five are trying to make up for it. but still you problobly should get a new car. that or a new eingin, trany, drivetrain. It would be cheaper to get a new car though.99 cougar trouble code reads o2 sensor bad replaced all four what could cause this reading?

Now check your tires for proper pressure. A low tire can rob your mileage. Jack each tire up and see if it spins like it should. A dragging brake or bad bearing could also affect things. Make sure you have the opposite tire blocked before putting it in neutral to check the drive wheels. Take a good look at your tires, are they worn down to where they need replaced? Do that. Is one or more wearing unevenly? Perhaps you are due for an alignment. How about filters, especially the air intake filter, is it clean? If not, change it.
