Gas milage going down
I took a trip up to Ottawa last weekend and noticed that I wasn't getting as far as I should on a full tank. I filled up with 93 octane and only got around 475 km for a 95 dx coupe (also put in a container of fuel injector cleaner). Now since I've been back and refilled, the gas milage still seems to be bad (city driving).

I changed the plugs, wires, distritutor cap and rotor about a year ago. Should these be changed again?

You might want to get your fuel system cleaned as well as a new fuel filter.
