Scanned for codes?

Manual/automatic?
It's an automatic, has a crack in the housing for the air filter, but it is minor...
I also changed my spark plugs and the 3rd one was dripping in oil- Still not resolved as to where it came from, but it hasn't come back...But it runs like a dream for a first car, no problems and general maintenance- everything got checked out before I bought it... I just can't figure out why it has such poor fuel economy, has 230,000km but has been taken into the shop to get serviced every 80,000-100,000km
