147,164 total miles. Valero on Los Gatos Blvd.
My wife has been driving the Escape this summer. She likes to crank the AC and deselect the Econ button. The fuel economy seems to be suffering.

30.5 MPG
341.0mi, 12.574 gal @ $3.699 = 27.1 MPG
146,838 total miles. World Oil #51 on Bascom Ave.
This terrible MPG confirms the last fill up was not a full tank, and this one may not have been either. My wife has been driving the Escape and she doesn't give it a second go once the pump clicks off...
Averaging the last two fill-ups (assuming this one was full) gives:
731.0mi, 23.946 gal = 30.5 MPG
This is in-line with typical numbers, and I'm going to use it as the title for this and the previous post.

146,497 total miles. Shell on Meridian at Hamilton.
Either changing the fuel filter really made a difference OR this was not a completely full tank. My wife did this fill-up so I think the pump probably shut off early and she didn't top off. We'll see at the next full-up...
UPDATE
Yep, confirmed. Averaging this with the following fill-up gives:

Oil change and tire rotation, new fuel filter, new rear air filter.
145,939 miles. Capitol Expressway Ford in San Jose.
Capitol Ford has raised their prices SIGNIFICANTLY for "the works" service (oil change, inspection, and tire rotation). It used to be $45-50 but now $110! Yikes! Fortunately the service advisor honored the price they had advertised in their latest service email ($70) and took $40 off.
They decided the fuel filter needed to be replaced to the tune of $138. The service schedule calls for this to be replaced at 100k miles, but I don't think it was ever done. So we went ahead with it. I prefer to let the trained techs deal with the fuel system.
They also quoted me $98.75 to change the rear AC air filter (FP51) which only costs $20 and takes me less time to change than typing this sentence. Ha. I did it myself after getting home.
The brake pads were all at 8mm, and the tires are in the middle of their life at 4-5/32nds.
Total cost for the service was $210.23.
