WHERES MY JUICE GOING
i have a 97 2000 awd , and at the mo its drinking fuel like the worlds gonna end soon, i dont boot it all really, thats the truth, but im only getting around 35/40 miles to a tenner, also when i pull off it seems to stutter a bit, i havnt got a scooby about these things under the bonnet, any ides what i should get checked out first.

I'd have the MAF sensor checked ,they fail often on the 99-oo models but will go sometimes on the earlier ones too, one of the symptons is excessive fuel consumption.
Have you checked the mpg properly? [fill to the brim, do say 50 miles or so, neck it again then divide litres it took to refill by 4.55 to give gallons used ,then divide the miles you did by the gallons used to give the magic figure,ie 50 miles took 9litres [1.97 galls] 50 miles diveded by 1.97 =25.38 mpg !! (you wish)
Expect 18-22 mpg ,less if modded by much

My first fill up on my 99MY gave me 23.5mpg, which was about what I was expecting.
