Hi, without more info, I would guess your ABS problem could possibly be one of your wheel sensors which is playing up or a damaged ABS sensor pick up ring on one of your drive shafts. Your Airbag issue could be a number of things as could also be your ABS fault, but first check your seat belt pre-tensioner wires that run under the front seats. Sometimes these wires can have a poor connection due to items rolling about under the seats on the floor. The only way to check your faults properly would be to have a fault code reading that will point you in the general direction.
As regards to your poor mpg, there could be numerous reasons why this is happening.
Is your engine a V6?

Hope this helps...

Hello KOffei and welcome to the forum..A couple of easy and inexpensive things you might do to help your milage would be..
#1...make sure your tires are aired up to proper inflation..32 psi.
#2...Replace your air filter.
#3...Replace your fuel filter.
If the above tips do not help then next thing I would do is replace the spark plugs.
Thats the stuff I would try first....If you still have problems you can always ask for some assistance here..There are some experts here that are always happy to help folks..
Keep us up to date....
HAGD....Bob
