using more gas?
it seems like my car is burning more gas up than usual... doesnt smell like it is running rich, no smoke, I highly boubt there is a leak, cuz the tank would be drained by now, and I'd smell it...
any suggestions?

same here man. Maybe the reason the gas prices are going down is because they are putting water in it! lol

Bill it may have something to do w/ the colder temps. Warm up takes a lil longer now.

Plus even after in warms up, in colder weather your car makes more power but is less efficient.
