Hi there,
Sorry to hear of your car woes. I'm a 98 EL owner, too.
All I can offer in the way of help is suggesting to try

The fuel consumption figures you mention sound really terrible. How many
K's on the clock?
The only thing I ever recall making rough idling for mine was when I had a
vac hose leak coz of a LPG backfire in the header, & a few hoses got blown
off.
Good luck.
