MPG has dropped from 32 MPG to about 30 MPG. Why???

I bought the vehicle about 7 months ago with 20,000 miles on it and consistently got 32 MPG and now it has dropped to about 29-30 MPG, only thing I have done is change the oil; tires are new and in good shape. What could caus ethe drop, air filter? Or something else?

  Here are some simple suggestions;
  Check your fuel system, dirts creates poor combustion - means some of the mixture were not burned during combustion.
  
  Dirt inside fuel tank - clean it w/ fuel cleaner
  
  Clogged fuel lines - clean the lines
  
  Clogged fuel filter - replace filter
  
  Clogged fuel injectors - clean fuel injectors
  
  Dirty air filter - replace air filter
  
  Low tire pressure - check and fill to the recommended pressure
  
  Have the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system checked (scanned) for free - at any local auto parts store. Retrieve any stored codes that maybe not displayed.
