A funny thing happened on the way home from work the other day. Great set up for a joke, right? No joke. I smelled burning plastic. Seemed to be coming from under the hood. I noticed this while parking in the garage. My neighbor smelled it and came over to ask what was wrong.

We looked under the hood, under the car and could find nothing. I thought that maybe a plastic grocery bag had blown under the car and attached to a hot pipe or something. We found nothing.

I've never smelled that odor again, but my gas mileage has been really bad lately. Never over 15 mpg in the city. Never over 25 on the highway. Thoughts?
