Recently replaced plugs, wires, air filter,and fuel filter on my wife's 98 century. She still has a problem with gas mileage. it does fine when at 3/4 to full. anything less than 3/4 and it needs to refilled within 36 hours. she only uses the car for work delivering newspapers in the wee hours of morning. if it is on half a tank when she starts its almost empty when she finishes. paper route is about 60 miles long from start to home.
