my car is drinking to much gas. I think there is a leak in the gas line or something with the fuel injection. Where are the 'gas' lines so that I can check them or find out where the gas is going?

If you smell a gas leak do not operate the vehicle until it is found and fixed. The gas tank is in the back of the car and the lines usually run under the car inside of the frame rails. Inspect the lines with a flash light. If you haven't changed the fuel filter or had a tune up lately that may be why your fuel mileage is poor. Have your engine computer scanned for trouble codes, you may have a sensor that is bad.
