At one point, you complained of 17 mpg. And on one discussion tread, you mentioned hearing 3 clicks at start-up.
It didn't look like clicks at start-up were addressed on your previous discussion. Some mention of windshield wiper matters became the topic. However, a series of clicks happen when a car goes into limp home mode. It should have triggered your CEL, and thrown a code or two in the ECM. It also usually results in stalling at idle.
Whether all that is happening to you or not, my guess is you need to have a qualified mechanic look at your car and run diagnostics.
11 mpg is worse than I get in city driving with my full size pickup. Fact is, I know guys who tow 32 ft travel trailers and get better fuel economy than that.
Something is very wrong. Go get it fixed.
