Default Major drop in MPGs????????

In the last month I've been getting less and less miles per tank. 142 to be exact. I used to get around 254 per tank, so this drop is quite dramatic. I have not changed my driving habbits, tires are at 35psi, seems to run fine, no warm ups, usually do not use the heat, and no check engine light. I'm stumped. HELP
