Gas mileage is reaching pink sock levels.
For those not on AWOT that don't know the term - it's REALLY bad.
280 miles until the gas light went on with this tank. No codes... car runs fine.
I do think I have a fuel leak though. After I shut the car off, and sometimes when it has been off for a while it smells like gas right around the car. No visible leaks. Where should I begin checking? I already looked around the fuel filter... I'm beginning to think it's near the rear of the car.
Thanks,
Mike

2nd!!! My gas light came on with 250------WTF
Already replaced the 02 sensor. Anything else that might be causing poor mileage? Themostat? Plugs?
Seems to be getting worse.

Have you replaced the OX sensor lately?
I had a new ox sensor laying around, so a few weeks ago when I had the time, I replaced my old one (car has 195K and don't know if/when it was replaced). Wow, my light used to come on around 250-270 miles, last week the light never went on, but at 317mi I thought I would fill it up just in case.
