car is a heavy drinker 700

Hello:

I am assuming your car has either a B280F or B280E v6.

Things to check:

1) fuel pressure regulator (see 700/900FAQS)

2) oxygen sensor

3) AMM (but it would run very poorly if it was bad)

4) dragging brakes

Is the car running smoothly? The OEM ignition components seem to be very good quality and often last a really long time. They may be well past their prime...

I doubt that a bad in-tank fuel pump would result in poor fuel economy.
