What state is the air filter in if it is grotty then it will restrict the airflow. Thus slightly more throttle and the ECU pumps in more fuel hence low MPG. Just a suggestion

Replaced 200 miles or so ago, no real difference...just had an emissions test and no abnormal waste petrol out exhaust either...makes me even more gutted becuase im not even getting a turbos power for the same if not lower MPG!!

You want mpg, buy a diesel
