Chad:  I always suspect either the ring s are letting gas get by  or there's
a problem with the cold start/fuel injector system in the ECU orthe
injectors are dribbling gas after shut off maybe?  Bentley manual has a
check for this.  Lots of short winter trips to work and shopping will have
the same effect when the engine doesn't get a chance to fully warm up and
evaporate that stuff.  You're gas mileage should be suffering too.
