Lots of good input!
I will check:
-Knock retard (I don't think there is any, but will double check)
-Check for EGR call to operate

Maybe you should not argue with her about that!
Any tire size changes? Is the pressure OK? How about brake drag? And alignment is a hidden but crucial factor!
Well, she's sitting next to me right now claiming that she would get at least 28mpg...???
Tires are of the correct size and at the correct pressure. The alignment is a darn good point! Oddly enough (now that you mention it) the mileage drop somewhat coincides with the last alignment - done at my shop (but not by me) on our archaic stone age equipment. I've actually been meaning to have it double checked by some more modern gear.
So, you guys have given me some great stuff to look into and I'll report back as answers come in.
One last question: On my scanner, I have a pid value "trim cell" what in the world is it???
Thanks guys!
