Just worked it out on diesel being roughly £1.40 per litre and your getting about 20 mpg :eek: I get low 2o,s round town but mines auto. Like I said ,put some veggie oil in . You,ll just lurve the smell and might even get a few more mpg :D
 
More like 15mpg!
20 quid is just under 15 litres, 50miles divided by 15 times 4.55 =15mpg ish.
Thats bloody terrible.

Your right mate. Just worked it out again at £1.40 litre and its 16.1 mpg :eek: Must be something wrong.
 
Check your air filter, check your fuel pump timing, check your turbo, all inlet hoses. Either your fueling is off or you are getting low air flow and running really rich
 
i have a simalar problem. but then i have a low geared transfer box and boot it everywhere.
so i am not suprised.

might check air filter though as well, just to be sure
 
Injector leak off hoses ? Thats a quick way to lose fuel.....or damaged tank ? Top of tank angled connector pipes spilling the return under the rear carpet ?
