So I still haven't replaced the exhaust and man does my mpg blow! What other things can prevent good mileage?

• Needing a tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor)
  
• dirty fuel filter
  
• dirty air filter
  
• misadjusted timing
  
• valves out of adjustment
  

Just some thoughts.  What MPG are you getting? :P

Dragging brakes. (Usually front caliper.)
One of the polution devices keeping mix rich. (O2, temp sensor, EGR.)
Timing (valve or ignition).
Hubs locked in.
(Front) wheel bearing stiff.
