Youre driving it harder to make the car louder, Harder driving = more gas consumption. Relax on the throttle.

When do they switch to crappy (err, the really crappy) winter gasoline out there? The oxygenated stuff.

Could just be a bad tank of gas. You're giving us way too little to work with here..
