£30 to 100miles sounds normal in this weather/with it being used daily, stop and start etc,.. as a rule i normally get 35miles to £10 when driving it as a daily driver.
i get more when on motorway journeys or when i just go out on a continuous drive with no switch offs. normally around 42 miles local continuous and 48ish to £10 on motorway drives.
note. i dont have a lambda sensor lol so should be worse than a lot of people.

Hi Neil no CEL(Check engine light)?If no can you check lambda sensor,if is in good shape
I have similar problem with mine and mine lambda sensor has been knackered(180 miles on full tank) and after replacing lambda sensor i've get around 330miles from full tank.

Could have been a sign of something on the way out! You can check if there are any fault codes on the ecu. There are 2 connectors under the dash connect them and turn on the ignition watch how many times the cel light flashes. Those flashes correspond to codes.
That's just a rough guide by what I have read on other post. So hope that my info is right and it helps.

£30 for 100 miles is about what I get, I have a new lambda sensor fitted so it better not be down to that lol, Its always been the same so must just be what it does.

If you have any doubt,just visit any good tuner and this tuner will check AFR or if you have OBD cable you can check via RomRaider and other sw,i will recommend this at first...

100 miles to £30 is bang on the money for your everyday driver or about town Id say motor way may see 115 -120 in mine. I put £20 in on sat and got 65 miles out of that so Id say no issues to worry about. £1.30 lt of v power means weve lost near 2lts for evey £20 you put in and that does add up I used to get 75 out of £20 not so long ago !! Petrol prices are gona be £2 lt by this time next yr if prices keep rising as they have done overr last 8 months.

Assuming you put V-Power (or any other SUL 97+), then you're talking around £1.27 ave. odd per litre.
£30.00 divided by 1.27 = 23.6 litres.
23.6 divided by 4.546 = 5.2 gallons.
100m divided by 5.2 = 19.2mpg.
As said, prob. normal in this stop/start season/cold start ups i.e. more than average fuel cons.

Just for a small second I thought there might be hope that my car was using too much fuel and there was a solution. Turns out I'm getting good mileage compared to some. I filled up last week and got 270 miles out of it (with motorway driving).

the consumption does sound right but how you drive makes a huge difference. I once did hull to didcot on 2/3rds of a tank and used 1 1/2 tanks for the return journey.
