Have the O2 (oxygen) sensor checked; when it fails, it causes the engine to run rich. Is your exhaust wet and black inside after running? Then it's likely the O2 sensor.

Get the codes first before spending that much $ to replace something. Could be the coolant temp sensor as well.

Well in my old '92 Spirit V6, I got around 250mi to a tank of fuel. Also, as soon as the car read just below 1/4 tank it would run out! As of gas mileage, try doing a tune-up. With mine I decided to try one of those chips off of E-bay as well. Helped a little bit...but ended up derbying it a cuple weeks later so not sure if it helped or not haha.
