I've also got the same prob... after 200 miles of easy driving with a mix
of 50% highway, 50% city, my car has used 3/4 of a tank of gas. Usually I
could get 300 miles when the needle hit the orange, but that is not the
case anymore. Any thoughts on where the gas is going? Could it be
contributing to my poor running engine? This is a 16v motor.
