12 Galons?? I thought we had 11 galon tanks? The most ive ever pumped
into my car was 10.2 galons. (Obviously not completely empty.) Well,
except for the AM-PM a few weeks ago where somehow I pumped 14 gallons
into my car and I had a little over 1/4 tank when I started. Go figure. 
I dunno, I kinda think your figures might be off a bit. Your car, in
theory, should be getting better fuel economy than before. 
The only thing I can think of is poor injector spray pattern or something
to do with dumping raw fuel into the intake system. Hmmmm.
