I have a 2005 jeep liberty and recently noticed i have lost allot of gas mileage. down to 200 miles to the tank. My jeep prior to this averaged 350-400 miles to a tank and has drastically dropped. i am an easy driver and easy on the pedal and last changed my oil, air filter and disconnected my batterywhich helped out although it has started to drop back down again. My liberty only has around 65000 miles on it and i keep it in tip top shape. what would be the cause of such poor gas mileage?
You might also want to vary where you buy your gas. I lost approx. 5 - 6 miles per gallon (translates to over 100 miles less per tank) earlier this year. After conducting a bit of an experiment I realized it was only when I bought gas from one particular distributor (Spinx). I have since stopped filling up at all Spinx stations and my mileage has returned to it's previous level.
To increase gas mileage make sure you keep on top of tire air pressure you can also have your tires filled with nitrogen instead of air also a K&N air filter does wonders and is good for lifetime worth every penny. another smart move is to use a fuel system cleaner regularly Lucas makes great products for this try local parts store.

Did this happen overnight or was it a gradual loss? Did you do any kind
of repair before you lost the gas mialage? Is there a check engine
light on or did it come on and go off? Did anything weird happen before
the jeep got bad gas mileage? It's hard to diagnose a problem like this
without actually touching the car.
Any other info might help me steer you in the right direction.

well you may need to have it serviced even though your not too hard on it. try a complete tune up and see how the milage is affected
