YOu may want to have your EVAP system checked. IF the ecu is getting the vapor from the charcol canister it could be burning more fuel in its place. Also you may want to check to see if your charcol canister is full of fuel. Your evap system could be dumping fuel there. Or you could have a leak but, i'm sure you checked for that.

Its in the back. You can follow the hose from the gas filler tube. Its located in the center of the vehicle right about the rear axle. Its plastic and has a couple of valves and a bunch of hoses on it. If you remove it make sure you label the hoses so you know where they go back to.

i would check your egr system next. there is no gas smell or somke when you drive... It has to burning rich if its not leaking. have the emissions checked on it and see if its burning to much fuel.

ok, so lavaleemike seems to be the only one on this forum that seems to be helping out.

as for the gas mileage you seem to be getting, wow, i dont really know what to suggest...
ok, so the computer only said maintenence, nothng more? no check engine lights or anything?
if you're stuck, i'd recheck the fuel pump, filter, and injectors... but you've probably done that, so i dont know
