The is a Service Light, which tells you when to change your oil and a Check Engine Light which means you have a code in the ECU. It sounds like you your light is just the service light, which is not an issue. Your bad mileage could be a few things, more then likely a vacuum leak. I would check all the intake hoses and lines for cracks and leaks and repair them as you find them.
