Default Question about fuel, emissions, check engine light

Hi there,

I have a few questions about my 2003 LX470:
  • Gurgling (sp) sound when adding fuel
  • Gas mileage drops down to .9 after fueling then goes back up to 11 after driving around, but why does it drop so much - it's gone down to .3 at times
  • Check engine light is on (goes on, goes off)- didn't pass emissions (catalytic converter code came up). I've heard that other issues can be the problem rather than the CC

Thanks so much for your help.

1, Same gurgling with our '01 LX. I bought it ib 2009, gurgling doesn't seem to be an issue over the last 7-8 years.

2. I don't keep track of mpg except on long trips.

3. Not sure which "P" code shows up, but it could be an O2 sensor.
