Gas mileage suddenly dropped. Possibly from intake?

Youve Forced my hand.

I REPLACED MY CAM SENSOR.
I have Unlimited Horsepower Now. =D

I also get 72 and a quarter of a half of a Pint Miles to the gallon.

In 2nd Reverse Gear with Twin Exhaust Turbo Squakers.

Okay well I've been busy lately and haven't gotten around to doing those things to my car yet, and I will soon, but I've noticed it's getting progressively worse.

My last fill up I calculated 14 mpg. Right now I'm at half a tank and 80 miles. :/

I'm wondering if something more serious might be wrong. I also noticed lately when I start it up it like, not sure how to explain it, it feels like it's about to stall or something. It like sputters and and chokes for a second then starts up fine. Other than that, the car feels pretty fine, it drives fine, power seems normal. I'm getting worried now.

Also: Probably has nothing to do with it, but I can start my car without the key sometimes. dunno what to do haha.
