I believe someone tampered with my vehicle last night while I was asleep. On the highway today, my car felt as if it wasn't shifting into its highest speed or gear when I got up to the 65-75mph range.
Also, I am smelling gas. I filled up my tank last night and with 90 miles driven on my new tank of gas, I'm at under 3quarters of a tank of gas.
I put cardboard under the vehicle and ran in idle for 10 min. Also did a manual inspection under the hood for leaks by hoses etc.
Please help.
