unfortunately, sounds like you have an expensive problem. its likely to be either a piston problem: holed crown or shattered ring lands, caused by high temps and therefore detonation, or it could be a problem with one or more valves.
i had a shattered ring land on my piston, no.2 cylinder, so i built a new engine, done 6000 miles now, and car just sits in a mates garage cos i do 700miles a week and it does 25 mpg max
will sell the engine etc, and the car one day, whenever i get round to it lol
