This morning when i got in my car my gas level seemed a lot lower than when i parked it the night before. I notice this a lot. Another thing thats weird is this morning when i started the car it was about 1k higher rpm at idle and it went down about 500 rpm after a minute but still 500 higher than normal. Why would it do that?

Fuel level:
Pull the carpet in the trunk, on the right side you'll see the fuel level sensor stuff, clear the contacts. This might solve the problem, worked for me.

Did the car actually rev higher or did the guage just say it was revving higher?

Your dist cap may not be on tight enough?

It actually was higher, i could hear the difference. But it doesnt do that anymore so i dont think it would be the dist cap.
