Probably the cause of the poor mileage, is your accelerator stuck at full throttle? This will burn extra gas. Related: I have had throttle return springs break, similar result. Does not prevent turning off engine (one click only, don't lock the steering), or using neutral. That is a serious suggestion, follow the Douglas Adams Don't panic rule.
