    Still bad, after a year and two months? No other issues since then? Sounds to me like it's running rich, too much gas in the mixture. That would account for lack of burn off of excess gas (smoke) and fuel smell as well as the loss of mileage.

    How many miles? bad 02 sensor telling the computer to run richer? Hence the extra gas out the tail pipe and loss in gas milage?
