I've been having a couple problems with this piece of.....yeah:
First, it keeps sucking gas. Since I bought it less than 6 months ago the fuel consumption has nearly doubled. No idea what would cause this.
Secondly, a pronounced knock has emerged. It did this once before but a simple oil change silenced it. It's back, but this time an oil change didn't make it leave. In fact, the oil looked clean and full even before the change. It doesn't seem to mess with anything yet; it's just being annoying.
I know very little about cars so lameman's terms would be great, I'm trying to learn a bit so I can stop running to an overpriced dealer every time something goes wrong.
