1.3 liters...
wow. fuel mileage should be excellent.
26 is half the mileage, something obvious is gonna jump at you...just look around.
at idle if fuel/air feeder isn't whistling, you got vacuum problem. start there.
if it is erratic and a part time whislte (faster than a vacuum guage can capture), check fuel lines and pump too, errors could be a simple as the wrong type of fuel tank cap.

sounds like fun. I am travelled out myself, but it is something to take with you, and no one else can have it, no matter how you write it.

when at 50mpg, and car is casual in the fast lane..it is like conquering the world.
