How many miles are on it? Sounds like it needs a good tune up

155 miles per tank is BAD.........I get WAY more than that with my 427ci.

Most likely you have an 02 sensor(s) that are failing......they make the engine run really rich.

Get a scan to see how they are working with the engine running.
