i replaced the plugs less than 6,000 miles ago, and the filter is a K&N
that's perfectly clean. i might try running the injector cleaner, but that
stuff has never worked for me. oh... and i fill up with Citgo 93 Octane.

Check the condition of your air filter. If it's dirtly and
plugged up, this will cause a drop in gas mileage.
Then, take a look at your spark plugs and see if they show
that you're running rich. If so and your truck has 60,000
or more miles on it, test your O2 sensor. HTH.
