Fuel consumption

My 02' GT has started to gulp gas at a faster than normal rate. Anyone have any suggestions on reasons why? They would be greatly appreciated.

How many miles on it? O2 sensors are the first thing that come to my mind, as they age their output drops which makes the PCM think the mix is lean--it compensates by adding fuel via the fuel trims...
