rich is safer than lean, but you shouldn't be blowing out black smoke. Is this a recent thing? I would guess you got a bad batch of gas. the car wouldn't just go lean on its own, something would have to happen to cause an overly rich mixture. run the tank almost empty and try gas from another place. if you still have a problem take it to the dealership. I would guess you have a bad o2 or maybe a stuck injector.
