  Isn't it illegal to drive while tanked?  ;-)

  The ting/ping could be an injector (typically).  Blowing black smoke and 
a little worse mileage can be from the hotter weather (does it actually get 
hotter there?)  or a dirty air filter.  I pulled the one out of the Jetta 
after 
only a few thousand miles since the last inspection and of course, blowing 
it out.  I banged it on the ground and several times it left noticeable 
bleahhh 
on the ground!  Blew it out.  Much less smoke and runs much happier now.  
It REALLY doesn't take all that long for one to need a good beating.
