Yeah your friend is jealous and talking smack - is your car running rich, is there any carbon on your exhaust tip or bumper

Oil burning is usually a blue tint smoke. Black means you're loading up. Too much fuel. Check ur air filter and make sure it's clean.

a dirty air filter would cause a lean condition if anything. Also i would not fill it as much as you are.

You are confusing what he is saying. You can fill your tank up all you want, the engine isnt gonna run richer because of this, the fuel injected into your engine is still controled by the PCM and related control units and sensors. Your car is running rich for one reason or another, and there is a ton of things that can cause this.

Does your car have any serious mods and do you have any engine codes present?
