Check under the hood. Maybe it has a 454 or a Hemi.

check your fuel filter, it could be clogged or very very dirty

In his case, it would be a very noticeable leak. One he should have spotted when he checked for leaks, which he established in his post.

Look behind you when you drive and see if you are leaving a trail of gas down the street.
