Answer 1

Make sure the tires are properly inflated, make sure the air filter is clean.  If it has over 100,000 miles, get it tuned up.  Have the oil changed every 3000 miles.  If you don't do constant general maintenance, it isn't going to last long.

Answer 2

maybe its leaking fuel somewhere.. and actual leak.. or someone could be stealing it??

Answer 3

Your car will throw a lot of smoke if the PCV is plugged.  Change your oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs, etc and make sure that the O2 sensor is good and the PCV valve is open and functioning.

Answer 4

It probably needs a tune up - new spark plugs, air filter, or could be a worn timing chain.  You didn't say anything about mileage or when the last tune up was.
