The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is a common issue. When it goes bad, the computer does not know how much fuel to inject (mix with the air). Usually, the result is poor gas mileage. In your case, it sounds like the computer is running your engine a little lean. If this is the case, it can create some engine problems if prolonged, so I would install a new MAF sooner rather than latter.
