idk if it makes a difference but if you leave my car sitting while running for about 20 mins itll start idling up and down for a couple mins then itll stop and about 5 more mins itll do it again and sometime itll idle so low the engine will die but it will on start doing this if its been sittin in one spot for a while

If I'm driving on like the highway or going somewhere and drive "normally" I get like 25ish... if it's the summer time and I can put my windows down to listen to my flows and enjoy my 4.10s, then it kinda drops.

nobody has mentioned the filler neck gromit yet...
do you park on an incline? or flat? if you park in flat areas you would never notice...i had the same problem as you did, then i parked in my inclined driveway instead of the garage and i noticed a stream of gas running out of the tank...that will run you outta gas in a hurry...it would leak while youre driving and when youre parked on an incline
