Default bad gas mileage 13mpg?

i recently had the C.E. light on b/c of my evap system having a leak in it.. i fixed that but i seem to still have bad mpg... i fill up every 240miles.. i kno thats not alot at all for an 18gallon tank.. does anyone know why this is?
the C.E. light is gone so i thought that fixed the problem but i guess not.. any suggestions or ideas?
thanks,

Could be anything from a dirty air filter or needed tuneup to under-inflated tires. You could also have a sticking parking brake or caliper slowing you down.

Start checking the basics first and also check for any codes in the system that may have not set off the light.
