Wow, I have the EXACT same problem. Only mine does more than just poor mileage. There is a terrible gas smell EVERYWHERE(notably under the hood) about 20 seconds after the car starts up. The car feels like it is about to die when idling, it revs up slightly and then feels like its going to sputer to a halt. The car lurches a bit when it shifts gears a t 60MPH or so. The car also hit a half a tank at 70 miles. Something is terribly wrong and the guesses I have are fuel filter or gas line. The CEL comes on and off for about 10 minutes every other hour and when I first start the car, there is a plastic tapping noise coming from the belts on the left side of the car by the belts. The sound goes away after awhile.....I dunno whats going on and have no idea where to take it. Any good repair chains worth taking it to? I was thinking the stealership.
