Check your plugs. They will indicate if you are running extremely rich. If indeed your car is running that rich, you can consider you catalytic converter's life cut in half, if there is any left in it. Check emission controls and any related sensors as well.
What you describe seems rediculous to the point that you may have a leak in your gas tank. Do you notice any gas smell while at idle or if your car has been sitting in an enclosed area (garage)?

Damn, that is shitty. You could have an injector stuck open, but if you were doing that bad, you should be running so much extra gas you would smell the car a block away idling. Not to mention running down the road. Plus you should have a cloud of white smoke coming from the pipe.
Fuel pressure is constant from the pump so you should be able to just start the car up, and check around your tank, fuel filter, fuel rail, etc for leaks. You could also have a clogged catalytic converter (notorious for killing mileage), bad injectors, or maybe something extreme like poor timing, or an ecu problem.

Yeah, there are 4 screws on the cover, which is on the passenger side, directly underneath the back seat. Under that, there are 8 small nuts that hold the fuel pump assembly in place. When you are putting them back, do NOT overtorque them. They will snap, and you will be shit out of luck.

Yup. 2g FWD (not sure about AWD) owners should be glad they can access to the fuel pump without having to drop the tank. Don't screw it up, it's not going to be fun when you do.
