nope nothing to the car stock stilll, the gas is the same gas as i always use, and its at a quarter tank left so i dont think the gas can jsut run rich with a quarter tank left it would of smelt like that through the whole tank.....

Others that have had clogged cat's had over boosting problems. Plus why would it be causing to consume more fuel?
