There is a rubber donut gasket where the filler neck meets the tank. It may be leaking. It was on mine for the longest time.

When was the last time you've done a tune up? Check your air box for an excessively dirty filter. Also, how is your driving habits? The best way to save gas is to not hold out your RPM's and not lead foot (not saying that you do). Also check your tire pressure, all of this stuff combined can lead to horrible gas mileage. And as stated before, check for gas leaks.

not that big of a drop though for basic tune-up stuff though...right now his big things to look into are leaks and a clogged fuel filter

Correcto Mr. Roboto....

With a stock v6, you just drive it like meh... Whatever....

Then you got a CAI... You like to make it chirp... You pump the gas quickly to hear it...

Then you got your duals.... You'd like to set your neighbor's Honda accord's alarm off.... You step on it hard and smile as you drive off...

Later on you got your gears + tlok... Hmmmm... How about some burnouts?!

Then you got a tuner to "awaken" the beast in that 3.8....

.....and so on....

How about a giant fuel tank mod?!?!

I have a tendency to like to hear my exhaust lol. I have to drive through a one way tunnel to get out of my neighborhood in a certain direction. I use my exhaust rather than a horn

This probably sounds stupid but have you changed your oil lately? because my car had been sitting for like a year and it had 3k miles on the oil and i got 15 mpg and after i changed it i get like 23 - 25 mpg
