    I'd say if you stopped driving at 100mph your fuel consumption would improve.

    Air flow meter, coil pack. Could even be the start of the head gasket about to go.

    Check for white gunk around the oil cap, check coolant levels. Once it doesn't overheat you may get away lightly.

    Stop driving the stones out of her too, because you'll kill it.
