Question about throttle control?

Ok, Dealer replaced my throttle control? sensor? I'm not sure if that is the correct term. Anyway, now my fuel mileage has dropped to 13.9-14.5 mpgs! I had been running a soild 15.5 to 16.9 mpgs. Any suggestions as what I can do to get it back up without spending a bunch of money on it? thanks.

Do you have gauges? A failing LP will sometimes hurt your mileage.

yes i do have a fuel pressure gauge, it hasn't changed. Thanks for any ideas.

I do know that all the little things on the truck make me really like the 2005 dodge cummins I test drove Friday, but I can't afford to trade at this point in time.
