Gas Mileage
i have an '83 T/A with a crossfire-injected 305. I have normally been getting about 18 mpg around town w/some horsing around. On this tank of gas, however, I have gone 120 miles and I'm already down to 1/4 tank. Now I don't know how much fuel is lost when changing a fuel filter cuz I just had that done but I don't think it should be that much... any ideas as to why my car is suddenly getting about 10mpg??? (I'm thinking bad injectors)

I don't think anyone is stealing my gas... 1- you need my keys cuz there's a lock 2- the lock is a piece of S*** and even I have a heck of a time getting it open 3. I live in the country 4. My car is in my garage unless I'm driving it or looking at it out in the sunshine
