Is gas burning faster?

I can go put 5 gallons of gasoline in my car right now and get less than 60 miles out of it. But my car was getting 25 miles per gallon in the city just a month ago. That should be 125 miles out of 5 gallons of gas.

I was thinking someone was stealing my gas for a while there. So I bought a locking gas cap. And suddenly, the past week or so I noticed my fuel was being weird and I wasn’t getting the mpg I was before. Then today. I put 5 gallons in my tank and now my display says I have about 30 miles estimated left, and I only traveled 22 miles total today.

Think there is something wrong with gas?

On top of that my car is idling funny. Unless i put super unleaded in my car. then I get nearly the 25 mpg I was getting before. but my car is a 4 cylinder, and it really shouldn’t have high octane fuel in it. Please can someone tell me why my car is getting such poor gas mileage?

Just like I said. Gas prices did Go up.

Working In Delivery TRUTH!

So you found a job that pays you well and you can collect on taxes at end of year. Gas milage mostly reimbersed and the hours are acceptional.
You don’t love the job but it’s easy and you don’t have to think much. Almost no liability on you.
That’s what you think.
You pay or paid for the vehicle you drive and all of it’s repairs so deduct that from the income. Down time is major down time. Do not break down. It will cost you. Do not get tickets or your insurance will skyrocket. That is if anyone will cover you. If you wreck your out of your most important tool in your job line. And the insurance company you lied to so you could get coverage, will know the truth and not cover you, due to breach.
If you deliver food and count on tips because you get minimum wage, you are litterally spinning your wheels. Stop and do the math. No pizza place will pay you what your work is worth. Plus you have to do dishes. There is no respect down there. How many times can you be called “pizza boy” and not snap.
