There's really no way you can have this engine get 3mpg. I would check ASAP for a serious fuel leak.

I had that happen on my old mustang once. The rubber grommet from the filler neck to tank rotted away and every time I would take a hard corner gas would dump out. Anyway unless the car is running really bad I would think you are leaking somewhere. Even if an injector was stuck open that would probably just hydrolock and bend the rod... Start smelling for leaks.
