And this is what - a 1992 Toyota Corolla? I can't see your vehicle through the Internet.

If it has a 5.4, you may have leaky injectors, which are under an extended warranty.

Also check your fuel filter it is against the inboard side of the frame right below the drivers door. They rust and they can sometimes leak.
