bad mpg

hey guys, I'm getting pretty terrible miles to the gallon in my 97 cl 3.0... does anybody have any ideas what could be the problem? I've pretty much stopped using all my accessories cz they use too much of my gas n she still burns right thru the tank. I have to gas up like every other day, any suggestions? thanks

If you have not done a tune up since ownership of the vehicle, I would suggest that first.

Next I would like to bring up the fuel filter. Changing that alone upped my MPG by roughly 2~3mpg.

Plugs, wires, fuel filter, would be the main culprits
