Default i'm pissed... low gas mileage

hey guys, my 1990 honda accord dx automatic is sucking on my gas like monica lewinsky on bill clinton. yesterday i went through a quarter tank driving 19 miles through my town. i must've shut my car on and off about 4 times. this morning it was really cold out and i noticed that while my car was warming up there was heavy smoke coming out of my exuast(which is normal in really cold weather) but the hit is that there was also smoke coming from under the muffler. i think there might be a hole in it. if there is could this be the reason for the poor gas mileage????????
