Wow, what a completely useless answer.
Sorry, when a 3-year old car suddenly drops to half of typical MPG, the
answer is NOT to bolt on an aftermarket intake; it would help about as
much as a new air freshener.
When was the last time this vehicle had its air filter changed?
Did you check for spark on all six cylinders?
Did this behavior start with cold weather?
It's an automatic transmission, has the fluid been changed, ever?
Are you sure it's making it into higher gears?
Does it run rough or stumble on acceleration?
Are you sure your daughter's neighbor isn't siphoning gas?
