Default SC300 Burning to much gas

Im just trying to figure out why my car is burning so much gas. I put 50.00 of 93 from E and it was only alil above half of a tank. I didn't drive around much but by the end of the day i was at E again. Can someone give me some advice to whats going on?

Maybe the brakes are scraping, bearings aren't rolling freely, or if your car isn't running well, it could mean that the MAF is broken . You could start by resetting the ECU.

Check for any leaks first. Last I heard it's bad for your car to start on fire.
