man you and me are the same if you figure it out

drop me a line. i just don't get it no matter how fast i drive it still uses alot of gas, i use alot of gas in a traffic jam.

but one thing i tryed was octane booster. it olny worked for half tank. as soon as i reached the half tank line it started drinking the gas again.

It is more than likely your o2 sensor. I am going through this right now. I am hoping I just got a bad batch of gas but we'll see. I filled up and am ~ 70 miles with just a tad over 1/2 tank

anything is possible. It was just a suggestion (one of the more common problems).
