96 4Runner Mileage Issues

Over the past few months I've noticed a drop in gas mileage on my 1996

4Runner. I keep maintenance up to date....check tire pressure every 2 weeks, recently replaced the plugs (with denso from the dealer), and rotate the tires every 10k. The truck runs fine but my gas mileage seems to be off. The truck is a 4x4 with 3.4L V6 and manual transmission. Mileage has dropped from 19mpg to 17mpg with mostly highway driving....

Any suggestions as to where I should start to look to fix this problem

Truck has 93k miles on it.......

A bad oxygen sensor will cause your mileage to drop, even though the vehicle runs fine in all other respects...

Cold region? If so thermostat not letting engine get to right temp quickly? winter oxgenated gas? fuel injectors need cleaning (Techron) or calibrated?
