just take a look at the mpg stats, see if he did the same distance, maybe his car has a problem.
twinturbo cars arnt all the same.

Pretty much, no car has gas mileage that horrible.

Is it possible that faulty APEX seals could affect the gas mileage?

It would be severely out of tune. Check the O2 sensors and plugs lately? What about ALL the filters? What kind of distances are we talking about here?

replace the o2 sensor..... I had the same thing happen years ago to my rx7... easy fix....
