Car has been using a lot more gas lately
I drive a nissan versa 2010 and recently ive noticed my car seems to be using double the fuel. I have been checking under my car for leaks and nothing also when i went for my oil change asked them to check the gas tank and they said it was fine, any other ideas of whats going on ?

Check tyre pressures and check for binding brakes. The easiest way to check the brakes is to go for a run for a couple of miles. Try to avoid touching the brakes, especially when making your final stop. Then check the wheel centres (be careful as you can get a burn if one is binding). They should all be cold.

After that, make sure all the maintenance is up to date, though I think problems with spark plugs and such would have the check engine light on.

Just a thought but I had really poor mileage on a jeep and couldn't figure out why, changed plugs, ran some injector cleaner, air filter changed no luck. So I lived with it for a while, about 2months ago on a really cold morning I noticed that the vehicle wouldn't make temp, and as I drove faster the temp actually went down slightly. Default setting on a broken thermostat is "open" keeping coolant moving through the radiator. Changed the thermostat and voila mileage went up.
