You guessed right as to the vacuum...tank has to be vented... with a vent tube, or a gas cap designed to do it.

Won't really know how much fuel you're using until you have some hard numbers. Even then, one tank fill can be misleading. Click on the 'fuelly' banner in my signature, it is a neat site, if you are interested in fuel economy, operating costs per mile, etc, etc. Costs nothing to sign up. (Site is also set up to be used by those of you on the metric system)
Thanks for the help! I've got the fuelly app on my phone!

So I have this silly Fuel evaporator thing.... with a vacuum line in and looks like the vent line from the tank goes into it but after go through some lil plastic thing? Whats the little plastic bit? should I disconnect the tank vent line before or after it? can I just remove the vacuum line from evaporator and and plug it? (I'm not in an emissions test area). I kinda suspect the fuel evaporator setup is the cause of my tank vacuum woes.... That or that lil plastic piece that I'm not sure what it is... maybe some kinda air valve?
