My car's petrol consumption is getting worse?

It's a Mazda RX-8, the one with the rotary engine, and I used to fill it up and get about 270 miles for a tankful, but now I'm lucky if it's 220 (and a tankful costs more now too)
It doesn't seem to make any difference how you drive it, and even though it seems happy in 5th gear at 45 mph, driving it around like that doesn't help either. I make sure the tyres are at the correct pressure and can't think of any other reason, any ideas?
