Thanks for the reply Art.

I disconnected my Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum side last night and it had a very strong smell of gas and actually dripped a bit onto my finger. I have ordered a new FPR from FPCEuro and will replace next week.

I know that can explain what I am seeing, but I would say my fuel economy is consistently around 21 MPG city driving / 24 Highway. That is not to far off of what I have experienced over the life of this car. Also if it was my FPR I would expect to be triggering 2-3-1 or 2-2-1 codes (Compensating for rich or lean air/fuel mixture at cruise), right?

After replacing my FPR I will try your recommended tests and report back.

Thanks again for your your time.
