Yeah I have been wondering about the overall consumption. When I got the car it was doing 51 mpg UK, and I have to work HARD now to get it doing 65mpg now that it's aeromodded. I wonder if there's something wrong with the engine, but I've got no idea where to start. I just serviced it about a month ago - new air fuel and oil filter & new brakes, but I wonder if glow plugs could affect fuel economy if they're tired?
