Fuel consumption

when the weather turns cold as in winter it takes long for the engine to get to operating temp and stay there. as such the injectors stay on longer and dump more fuel to run the car as compared to the summer when its hot out. another thing how long has it been since you changed the thermostat as it may need replacing.

Rear hatch will not stay open when weather is cold, temps below 45 affect the vacuum on the rear hatch. works fine in warm weather

Those little shocks are gas charged, thus pressure increases in hot, and decreases in cold. Over the years they tend to seep, or leak a bit, thus, only work good in warm/hot weather. They have replacement ones at autoparts stores, and shouldn't be too expensive.

My parking lights won't go off.

I hadn't had the car that long. Didn't know about the switch on steering column that makes park lights stay on. while I was cleaning it, I must have hit it. Anyway, problem solved, Thanks for your help.
So embarrassed.
