You can put whatever you want under location.

Last time I checked "DFW" isn't a state...

Default just my 2 cents..

I think it's worth checking to be sure that all the wheels are turning freely... If the car had some faulty brake work done they could be dragging a little. Also check the adjustment on the parking brake. I think you'd smell hot brakes after driving the car on the highway.

Also the transmission is worth checking out.. at least pull the dipstick and see if the fluid smells burned.

Other than that, I'm thinking fuel leak, possibly happening while you're driving and not getting into the ventelation system so you don't notice it.

Does it miss at all? An stuck injector might be flooding one of the cylinders with fuel. that would be very bad for that cylinder. Also wondering if it puts out any black smoke. Have someone drive behind you to see if there's any black smoke... that would be a dead give-away that the fuel is going through the engine and out the exhaust.

You've probably looked at a lot of this stuff, but maybe it'll help.

Good luck and let us know what it was when you figure it out.

I have Bosch, but I've been told to stay with OEM, which is Denso brand.
