Excess fuel consumption can be caused by a lot of things. One of them is tire pressure. Other things that can cause issues like this are air filter being dirty, bad oxygen sensors, bad air flow sensors, VVT issues on the cam.
Venkata, According to Injectorrx.com: " Fuel injector symptoms for bad, faulty, dirty, clogged, or leaking injectors are :
Starting issues
Poor idle
Failed emissions
Poor Performance
Engine does not reach full RPM
Increased fuel consumption
Rough engine performance
Surging and bucking under various throttle loads
Smoke from the tail pipe
Engine Knock or Detonation which can lead to catastrophic engine failure
Pollution"
Venakta: I have had very good luck with a fuel injector cleaner sold by Advanced Auto called KX44 but some people like Seafoam. It is a cheaper place to start than with a mechanic.
You need to scan the ECM to see if there are any stored DTCs. Just guessing, it sounds like a bad cam or crank sensor. They can be temperamental when they get warmed up, if they are bad.
With the key on,the fuel pump is only activated for 1 second,the off,until the vehicle is turned over again,then it will come on again,checking power to the fuel pump,is not easy to do,,I am thinking maybe the fuel pump is coming on,but the injectors are not pulsating,replace the crankshaft sensor ,it controls spark,and injector pulse.
