Hello,I'm Danny,

Have you noticed a rotten egg odor coming from the exhaust?It could be your catalytic converter(s) are plugged causing your bad gas mileage and loss of power.By any change have you noticed if the check engine light is as well? If so there might be a fault code stored in your cars computer.If you can access those codes and get back to us with the code numbers we can help properly diagnose. I have attached a few tutorials for you t view showing what's involved.
