    I don't know how to really put it, but lately my Car has been using more fuel then a V8. When ever you pull up to a stop you can smell that egg type smell from the rear of the car.

    Also a few times now in traffic when you moving slowly there are a serious of small miss fires the engine idles weird you you can feel and hear it through the exhaust, but when you come to a complete stop or idling in the driveway it idles fine.

    Sprak plugs were replaced a few Months ago so I doubt it is that.

    The first thing to do would be an error code check and see what it comes up with. After doing it once, clear the codes, take it for a drive and check it again. This will get rid of any old codes and only set any new ones if they exist.

    Check the coils,leads and the spark plugs as they can break down even when they are nearly new I can vouch for this.
