Poor Fuel Mileage

Poor Fuel Mileage
So for the past few weeks my trucks mileage went from what it should got stock to hooped.
I've done two things hoping it would help. Swapped in some fresh oil since my current oil had a zinc additive in it which I figured thinned it out to much over time. Secondly my rad was a little low on fluid so I topped that off and as the guage reads my truck is running cooler for sure.
But that didn't fix my issue on my mileage.
I'm looking for suggestions on things that could be either on their way out the door or already there but haven't thrown my CEL.
My first thought is my O2 Sensor honestly but I'm not sure.
Any help is appreciated since I cannot afford to have the truck burning so much gas just before the big family hunt and me actually inbetween a job change.
thanks guys

I'm only hard on the throttle on the hills
but no I'm not crazy on the throttle so I don't believe thats the culprit.
As for the tune up the only thing I didn't change when I did my starting components was the Cap and rotor. Fluids are all good filters should be also.
I'm stopping by my dode dealer tomorrow on my day off to see if they can check me for some codes.

I'm completely aware that its easy enough.
But the guys at my dodge dealership have been nothing but good to me. So if I'm gonna get it checked I'd like to do it there and get their input if I get anything that I don't fully understand. They deserve that much from the amount of pain, money, and hassle they have saved me while I've been repairing and planning this truck out.

Just to throw this out here the gas gauge float may actually end up being the culprit.
Did a fill up today so I could have a fresh start on my count. So after doing the math from my distance and amount filled I was pretty close to what I should have had. But that was guess work mostly. Either way I'm getting a read on the codes to settle my mind.
