    I used to get 25 mpg in city driving, and 30 mpg on the highway.
    Suddenly the mileage went down to 18 in city driving. I tried fuel
    injector cleaner but that did not help. Any ideas would be
    appreciated.

    I assume the car is still running "seemingly" well still. If its running
    well still, my guess it is an external change.

    -- In the cold weather, have you been letting the car sit and idle to warm?
    -- When the car is cold, do you drive it hard?
    -- Any other changes to your driving pattern?
    -- new gas station?
    -- Are the tires inflated to the correct pressure?
    -- Do you keep going to the exact same gas pump? Some pumps "click-off"
    sooner than others. Which would lead you to believe that the tank is at its
    normal capacity, when it is really less a gallon.
