There are plenty of things that cause poor mileage... dirty Air filter, spark plugs, ignition coils, spark plug wires, fuel filter, tire pressure and much more...at 240,000KM its probably would be a good thing to look into all of these as well as a dirty MAF if you haven't already.

Also you should buy some throttle body cleaner and clean the throttle body too..its something a lot of people over look when doing general maintainace. If your throttlebody is dirty enough, it can hurt your gas mileage.
