Default gas guzzling and no leaks

Hello

My 1991 Cutlass goes through gas like crazy lately with no smell of gas
or apparent leaks. I recently replaced the exhaust manifold and the
spring bolts do not form a perfect seal. Could this be tricking the
computer into running a super rich mixture. I have noticed this problem
a lot more since it has gotten cold in central PA. Thanks for any help
Bob

Sounds like you've diagnosed your own problem. Fit the exhaust
properly. Good luck, s
