Yeah. I gave a bad answer. Got me. It seems you'd have to have a couple of faults for that to happen. A stuck Circuit Opening Relay plus????? Or is it just the power antenna you are actually hearing?

that sounds starnge, but it shouldnt affect your gas mileage. even if your pump ran all the time, assuming your injectors are good, the engine would only get the fuel that was allowed past the fuel injectors. So, the fuel pump running after you shut the car off is really strange. I would definetly check around, something could be shorting out, or you might have a bad relay.
