Ok, this is going to be a bit of a long story but if you could help someone in desperate need that would be a huge help
I bought this car about 4 months ago and when i bought it, it was great and i loved driving it, and i still do. About 2 months after i bought the car, I got rear ended by some kid in his corolla. I finally got it about a month later after it being delayed for being ready for repairs for parts coming in late and 2 bad axles being sent in to them. When i got it back about a month and a half ago and went to fill it up, i noticed that my mileage was about 5 mpg less than what i used to normally get around town which was about 17 or 16 mpg even when not being nice to the car. it got 12 mpg on that fill up and a few fill ups later it got 15.6 mpg which was strange because it usually got awful mileage and i also got 15.2 one other time a few fill ups ago. i drove it on the highway about a week or two ago and got about 22 mpg on the highway with cruise control at about 60 mph. Now in town i get about 10 mpg and it's really hard for me because its getting expensive for me to drive it and i love driving my mustang. Nothing seems wrong with my car so far besides some squeaking in the rear wheels but i doubt that would have anything to do with getting 5mpg less than usual. Only mechanical or functional parts on the car that were replaced or fixed was the right exhaust pipe and the rear axle. Car can feel down on power at times but its usually from using the a/c. Only fill up at Phillips 66 (Conoco-Phillips), Mobil, or BP stations.
Sorry this is a lot of reading but if someone could give the time to read this and help me solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
