Hello, my car consumes a lot of fuel, about 22 MPG.
I have changed the spark plugs and the air filter but still the something, I have taken it to a mechanic master and he checked it by a computer but nothing important was shown.

I have seen the EVAP purge solenoid stick open and cause the fuel to be ingested into the engine. Here is the location of the valve, I would remove it and see if you can blow through it, if so, the valve is bad and needs to be replaced.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
