I only reply as I had almost the same problem on a Dodge omni a few years
ago.  Make sure the bolts that hold the callipers are really clean, and that
they are not binding.  What I found was that the calipers were not
"floating" and this would eat up one then the other brake pad.  I cleaned up
the bolts on a wire wheel and never had another problem.  I also made sure
the calliper was very clean as the pads need to slide around.  It still
amazes me that disk brakes work at all.
