My Fit 2009 used to get 30mpg now it's averaging 25-27mpg
It's at 135k now. I've changed out all the air filters, the spark plugs still look good, and I added fuel injectors into it already. What could be wrong with my fit? Is it just old age? Also the last time I did an oil change I used 5w-30 instead of 5w-20 (my mechanic told me to do that due to the wearing of the engine pistons, they need a thicker oil).

Tire pressure?

Has your commute changed? Do you have winter blend gas in CA? It’s been cooler out so has the car been idling more? Tire pressure? 5w-20 is a more fuel efficient blend then 5w-30.

also check your air filter if its dirty mine was doing the same now im back at 34 mpg

Same thing happened to me, didn't think much of it. I am at 62k miles. Finally got a misfire code for cylinder 2, turned out the spark plug in cylinder 2 was backed out and cylinder 3 was halfway out. Changed all my coil packs, plugs, and did a valve adjustment and now I'm averaging 35mpg my last week of driving. Car is smoother and peppier as well. Check your plugs and coil packs, it took the plugs backing all the way out to throw a code, yours may be loose but not enough to throw a code just loose enough to bork your mpg.
