Sudden drop in gas mileage

05AT - Driving habits and routes have not changed, but the past two tanks of gas have gotten me around 120 miles before getting the warning light, whereas I had previously gotten between 180-210 miles on a tank before getting the warning light.

FWIW, I have about 1500 miles on my second engine.

Anyone ever experienced a similar problem?

Thanks Zoom44, I swear I did a search, but I think I limited the search to the "Issues and Problems" forum.
