Smell like gas in exhaust
Hi guys,
Maybe a gas mixture problem. I smell gas, especially in the morning when I start the car.
Is it leading to bad MPG. Last week I have a trip from Orange County to Sacramento and the car consume almost a full gas tank (23 gallons I believe) for 410 miles.
Any recommend for a mechanic locally here for checking and tuning up my engine?
Thanks.

It's a 1995 LS400. Also I don't feel like the car is powerful enough with a 4.0L V8. Maybe the car is quite old and I'm expecting to much .
Thank you all.
Thank you all.

No power and slow acceleration? Have you checked the capacitors in your ECU? If not, it may be time. With no codes and uncharacteristic behavior it may be time to get those replaced.

OC to sac in one tank is awesome for a 95! i did the same trip averaging 25mpg.
yes you are expecting too much on our v8s haha. these cars are HEAVY so it will not accelerate as fast as you are probably expecting. the motor is ample for the size of the car, and if you hold the revs the car boogies IMO.
what's your mileage? a basic tuneup is all that you might need as stated by PD.
