Supra only getting 10mpg after oil and filter change

My 2001 NA auto supra is only getting around 10mpg since i done an oil and oil filter change on tuesday,

The engine is running fine, and no signs or smell of a fuel leak,

Anyone have any idea what could be the cause?

 

Thanks in advance

I'd venture it has absolutely nothing to do with an oil and filter change. 

So many question, lets start with how do you know its only doing 10mpg? Did you run 100 miles and fill up with 10 gallons or did you go off the fuel gauge? Is there a smell of fuel around the car or unburnt fuel exiting the exhaust? I cannot imagine anyone would be able to offer any meaningful input to your question without a lot more background and information.

Good old nas. A few things can throw it off

Throttle position sensor. When set properly the car will burn the correct fuel to air ratio

O2 sensors, Distributor cap/ arm, the MAP sensor plugged in? Whats the air filter like?

what is that? and where would it be?

Tbf never seen one before in Supra but im quite sure they made it mandatory every petrol car from 2001 onward and diesel car 2004 onward should have one. Most of the time they under steering wheel or nerbay. You can buy cheap code Reader on ebay and read the fault codes
