Refrigerant probably low, possibly due to leak.

Define " a lot" of gas. If you are 15 mpg city or better, dont expect too much more.

Search on here for the codes, I dont know offhand.

P-0340 is "Cam sensor circuit" Check the wiring to the cam sensor. It's where the distributor used to be/top of the engine near the firewall.
