fuel leak... ugh!
Back again my peeps... I filled up with $40 yesterday and went about 48miles im suppose to get 26mpg if i had i think 13-14gals how did i burn the whole 13-14 gals in 48hwy miles i would say it was a few city miles which is 19mpg still shouldn't have me right above E correct?
+1 I did see a fuel leak on the fuel rail and i do smell gas when the heat is on from time to time... can somebody please help I really need to find the source of this problem because we all know gas is not cheap these days 3.03per gal... so if there is some thing that i can do like replace the hose that connects to the rail or something please let me know whats the best thing to do.

1. fill the car up with premium
2. get a torch (metal or flaming club, caveman style preferably)
3. start the car
4. poke around for the leak
this will solve your problem..
..your VG problem, that is

ill take some pix 2marrow of where it was coming from and you really could tell unless you looked real hard i guess it was coming out even faster while driving but i did find it and it was a rubber hose i saw in another thread that it a size 5/16 fuel injected hose is that correct?
