Well I just rolled over my 98 Rodeo (3.2 V6) to 200000 and all of a sudden it gives me funky gas mileage/readings. In the old days the gas light would come on and I could put around 16-17 gallons in to fill it back up but now when it comes on I can only put in around 12 before it fills back up. I can top it off and drive for about 45 miles and I'm already at 3/4's of a tank. I've been afraid to test the actual tank levels for fear of running out of gas, but the actual mileage seems to be slightly worse but not enough to cause the discrepancy. I keep it tuned and change the oil on a regular basis... but I'm not enough of a mechanic to try to figure out what might be wrong. So I thought I'd check in here first to make sure it wasn't something simple that I could repair before I take it to the dealer. Any ideas?
