so i just replaced the fuel filter which had never been replaced, to my knowledge at 72k miles.

now the car is getting way worse mpg than before - from 24mpg before the change to 17mpg after the change. ( have filled up once since the change )

has anyone else noticed this? any recommendations? the car doesn't run bad and still seems to have the same acceleration as before. no bad idle and no abnormal "gasoline" smell.
