Have you done any upgrades to the car in the last week if so there might be a problem with one of the upgrades.

also keep in mind something as simple as a gas cap thats not sealing will let your gasoline evaporate,I had a bucket of gas outside and within about a week it was all evaporated,You may want to throw a fuel pressure guage on for about 10 minutes and see if pressure drops incase theres a little leak.

Actually sounds like a real good idea. About to look into heading to the auto parts store after work and pick something up, sr fuel pressures like 38 or 40 or so?

Pressure in the gas tank? Certainly it's not going to hold return feed pressure after shut down. But as another fuel economy sufferer with no apparent reason, you may be on to something.

What should the drop be? We have a gauge and it goes way down after shutdown, eventually zero.
