Hard to tell without a SES code, but have you replaced the coils yet? when they go bad it can effect the MPG, but only 60 miles on hald a tank seems really unusally low, even for bad coils.

damn, you sure you don't have a hole in your gas tank?
With that bad gas milage you have to feel something - the way your car acts and such. One thing i'd suggest doing - clean your throttle body and injectors (bg-44k seems very popular).

I can feel you man with the gas $$$$$$$ price its nuts, like every one say clean the fuel injector and see what happen.and check your fuel line there maybe a leack in them somewhere.Thats not normal at all.

Damn...60 miles for half tank thats less what my car do for not even 1/4 tank.I get 159 for half tank.

good luck.
