Default Leaking exhaust?

Im sure this isnt a normal thign to have what i assume is gas leaking from my exhaust noticed it today while at gas station. I already replaced pcv valve 02 sensor new spark plugs and wires. I would think first thing wrong air/fuel ratio but what else would cause that. It may also lead to my bad mileage i still get about 15 mpg with all the tune ups i have done. Any advice is appreciated

well i obviously tried to drive liek a granny but it didnt seem ot help at all so ill drive normal to heavy sometimes. WHat should my fuel pressure be at idle and at like 2000 rpm because i wanna test it. im also goign to check the resistance on my coils. My car still feels like it has lost power.

i believe the pressure would remain there, no matter how many rev'* ya got into it, the only thing building up the pressure is the fuel pump...

Luxury... When you stomp on it does the car seem to be a little sluggish and you can hear back pressure? Poor fuel mileage like you are describin...higher temps..like you've had.

How is that catalytic converter? Does it rattle or make any noises?
