Hello, I have a 2002 sunfire gt coupe and I have a problem with the car burning too much fuel. I drive to school everyday which is about 100 kms there and back. I never turn on the a/c, I never roll down the windows, I don't do any hard accelerations and I use cruise control as often as i can which is about 80-90% of the time. I don't put any cheap gas in (no name companies) and my car is burning about 11 liters/100 km highway. I drive almost 95% highway when I drive to school between 100-150 km/h. I replaced the fuel filter and I just changed the oil (synthetic) and I also installed a new air filter (about a month ago). I had removed the air intake manifold and cleaned out the intake ports which made my car burn less but still a lot. I removed the spark plugs and they where somewhat white so I cleaned them and regaped but the gaping was fine. I took a flashlight and looked down in the cylinder and indeed the cylinder looked wet and there where carbon deposits on the top of the cylinder. I don't believe that my car is burning coolant because I have never filled it or had any white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipe. I do have a code which is an evap code which I have to fix before November for an e-test but I had the code ever since I bought the car which was about four years ago and the car burned perfectly. As I was testing my 02 sensor's via the scanner and the live data function. I let the car warm up and i revved it to about 2,100 rpm which is when the 02 sensor's work the best and i was getting a reading of about 0.6-0.9 volts so I think that the car knows it's running rich but it is not doing anything about it. What do you think the problem is and how do you think I can fix it?
Thank you
Thank you
