You should be running premium regardless. Especially with the smaller pulley. 91 minimum to prevent KR, smaller pulley? 93 minimum.
If you think you're running rich, smell your exhaust. Smell rich? Now scan. Is the O2 sensor saying rich? If not, that may be your problem. After shutting down, wait 10 minutes or so, pull the vac line off the FPR, and check it for fuel in the vac line.
Edit:
I certainly wouldn't be putting a pulley on a car that isn't running right to begin with.

I agree with
No buying parts at all. Not until firm diagnosis.
No pulley either. Put it on a shelf. With your oil consumption, that pulley is a bad idea. Not to mention the mileage problem.
