TERRIBLE mpg, sorry if this has been posted before
I searched through the forums, and found some clues, but here's the deal, and I apologize if this has been posted several times.
98 XJ, bought it 2 mos ago with 190k miles on it, runs great, did a full tuneup and was getting about 18mpg.
Recently, in the past couple weeks, its gone down to like 11 or 12 at the most.
I do have a small exhaust leak, which i'm going to fix, and also need new rear shocks, but I'm wondering if there are any other troubleshooting things i can check.
ALSO, sometimes i hear a "gurgling" sound coming from my gas tank area after I park and turn the engine off. Best I can come up with to describe it.
Thanks!
