ok im tired of my car now
when i do gas it seems to go away quick when im just driving for two miles.
the fuel guage has four lines on it so im going to bse my answer off that after after 8 miles of driving 1/4 of it is gone......where did it go?

let me tell you the basics so you guys can better answer my question

before my car was stolen i had...
Turbo xs h34
Full denjoon tool uicp from throttle body to sidemount
k&N filter charger kit
all free mods
Boost guage
and also i was throwing a cel for egr flow p0400

all of these things were stolen from me and windows were busted and other stuff
had to be replaced

after my car was recovered everything was returned to stock but
the only thing that was different was that im now using part of a
radiotor hose to recirculate the stock bov to the intake
the reson why is because the insurance company said there wasn't enough damage
that would go over 500 deductible so i had to pay everything my self#@!!@%@%

right now i have.......
free mods
extreme psi intake and filter kit

now wires that went to my boost (the clear one) hisses when push the gas and someone told me to plug it becuase it may cause a vac leak in my motor so right now its clogged with paper and a small screw

and stock bov leaks likes theres no tommorow since my turbo is pushing 15psi
and its supposedly leaks at 12

the 2g mas i got from a junked car but iono if that would affect my fuel

now you know whats in my car its all stock accept for intake and filter
iono if its the the o2 before the cat or something else

gas prices here in the is a biatch and i don't wanna keep paying every two days for gas
i don't see any leaks in the gas tank or anything else

i am gonna change the o2 but that be till i get the evo 3 but if that is the prob i will change it now but i didn't cel for it


would guys know what the hell is wrong with F$%#$ing car???
i thought my moms truck sucks more gas but damn my car.......4cyl.

thanks for your help it is appricated
 
1.) Fill the tank.

2.) Zero the tripmeter.

3.) Ignore the gauge.

4.) Drive.

5.) Day after tomorrow, refill the tank. Divide the miles by the number of gallons.

Then you'll really know if you have consumption issues.

If you do, the front O2 sensor is the first suspect.
