Shame NikFu... SVX adjusts its own timing, and it will thank you to not interfere with that process.

Don't be too hard on him Patrick!
The rest of his advice was good. O2s and MAF are possible culprits.
Gearbox starting to slip would give bad mpg as well, but you don't want to hear that!
Short cold weather runs with everything on will knock it way back also, there may not be too much wrong with it, but I'd check if the O2s were all right first.
