Default what is up with my mileage

I recently noticed that my camaro has gotten really bad mileage lately. It currently has 35000, but i have only driven it about 5000 miles within the last year, i had the fuel filter replaced at 30000, it still has the stock plugs in it, but it was really efficient up until a few weeks ago,I also have the2.73 gears and have toyed with the computer with my predator, but have since put everything back to normal.I recently installed 18" zo6 wheels, but I dont think it would take that much of a hit would it.I am thinking of taking it to the dealer before my warranty is up (expires in May). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . I apoligize for the long rant.

hate to say it but once the dealer hooks up to your computer and sees that you messed with the settings (even though you reset it, the computer still shows it was changed at one time) they are gonna void your warranty and make you pay to fix it

I have taken my car to the dealership before because it wouldnt start, a problem with a fuel relay, but while it was ther they reflashed the computer and nothing was mentioned of the computer being changed. on another note I am going to start with changing out the plugs, but recently again it looks like all is going back to normal, damn with the price of gas these days it sucks to have bad mileage,also it does help not to have a heavy foot. thanks for your replies fellas.
