Why is my gas mileage dropping, 2mpg seems to be running smooth.

Brand of fuel, winter and summer grades all can make a small difference but 2 mpg is a lot.You would need to look at fuel trim figures on a scan tool to see if long term fuel trims are out of spec but not to the point of setting a code. Is the Chevy high mileage engine would have less friction but the injectors may wear. Are the air filter and spark plugs fresh?

you might just have carbon build up from poor quality gas, have you tried a fuel treatment, i recomend zmax. awsom stuff helped me with my impalla as it also had a 2mpg drop, and its for both fuel and oil. its about $30 at any parts store.

a mileage loss can be caused by a number of things the most common is tire pressure 5 psi can cause 2 to3 mile to the gallon loss it may be caused by need of maintenanc suh as tune up oh a bad sensor
