Default Terrible gas mileage

This year I noticed my gas mileage has gone down the drain. It was fine last year. Right now I'm just about getting 62miles from half a tank of 94. This is city driving and going into boost a couple times. Just wondering where to start to correct this problem. Spark plugs/wideband sensor is new as of last year.

That's crazy city mileage. I see around 17-20 city and 24/30 hwy. depends if top up or down and what speed cruising.

If I drive really aggressive city I see 10/12 lol.

How many miles does that work out to be from a full tank of gas?
