What is your question?
I have a 2005 nissan pathfinder with 104,000+ miles. right now i am experiencing low gas mileage with 10.9 MPG. Its been going down for every month. Im trying to understand why? I replace the tires, belts, filters, everything and yet nothing seems to remedy it. Any advice would be helpful. thank you

Hello, spark plugs can influence fuel economy indeed, but more likely present is a fuel trim issue which is causing dumping of fuel unnecessarily. This can be caused by lazy switching heated oxygen sensors for one thing. This can also be caused by an engine vacuum leak, or an excessive unmetered air intake leak. On the other hand, fuel economy is largely also related to environment, where you drive, how you drive, and the conditions where you drive. It might be that this is "normal" for current conditions.
