Wow, do you have an SES light on? If it was using that much gas I would think you would get fuel trim codes.

have your injectors cleaned and tested. not very expensive.

if you can afford it and have access to a good dyno tuner then that is the best way. otherwise i would use solomon at LT1 PCM Tuning - OBDI/OBDII PCM Tuning/Programming Service
