9.10 gallons of gas is a bit much for 40 miles.. Like you said start out with plugs, wires, cap and rotor.. Not to pricey to start off with.. Im thinking since u have a 3.0 it is a bit tight to work on.. It just might be that the plugs against the firewall might not have been change at the same time as front plugs... Lots of places when getting tune up wont change back plugs..just because their lazy.. well get to it.. and let us know thnks jess s.
