I don't even know what you just said.

Deciphering your posts is harder than translating spanish in 3 different tenses written in cryllic.

Cyrillic, you must mean? You're slipping, Laurel...

Nico, even with the way I drive, I still get at least 20mpg with city driving. 8mpg is more like the best-case scenario for my GMC with an empty cargo area.

I think she's got a different issue than standard Subaru richness.

Its driven by a woman?

"ducks"

If you don't get the temp sensor removed before you come down, I will help you if you need it. And if you don't get one from Nick, I will get another one from U-pull-it next time I am out there.

bahahaha, I think I fixed it. My friend's girlfriend has been borrowing my car every now and again while he's doing work on her nissan, and she's been filling the gas tank. I filled it the other night, and no sucky noise happened when I opened the cap. I think she wasn't tightening it properly, thus causing it to evaporate at a higher rate. lol

It's since gone back up to about 12mpg

Hehehe.

Is that 12mpg a lot of city driving?

Well, looks like you found one factor at least... 12mpg is still pretty low unless you ride around constantly at WOT.

Do you smell gas when walking around the car after a drive? Or before a drive? (do you walk around your car before you drive it?)

My gas tank had a leak around the filler area, would leak out when I had more than 3/4 of a tank. My friend and I were able to fix it with some JB cold weld and it's held for many months now.

Have you checked your charcoal canister and fuel lines? I'd think with the key on and the engine off (primed fuel system) any leaks would tend to show themselves.

Ever done a compression test?

bhahahahahahhahaha! I win. 15.5 mpg this afternoon. Stupid girls..

I dont' think my fuel tank is leaknig, because if it was, it wouldn't make the swooshy sound when I open the cap
