You must have a thick cloud of smoke if you use a quarter tank in only two miles. I don't even see how the motor could run that rich

You sure your gas gauge just isn't broken? Is your SES light on? Did you check for fuel leaks?

Wow....

How bad does it idle? Is it a smooth idle? Does it only drink the gas like that when warmed up or only when cold or does it not matter?

You might be best taking it to a good mechanic to get checked out!
