If it's not been mapped for the air filter and d/v, it will use more fuel. It may also run lean at times = bang!

You should have a running in map, then get it changed for a full one.

You need to work out the mpg correctly. Fill up, reset trip, use car till fuel light comes on, fill up again and then out how many miles you are getting per litre and then divide that figure by 4.55 to get your mpg. If it's anywhere between 18 and 23mpg then it is quite normal. Cold ambient temperatures mean lower mpg and as Alzacar said, your air filter and dump valve WILL be making the mixture rich, especially if it hasn't been mapped.

Depending what your paying for fuel ofcourse. But worked roughly thats 17.5mpg. Id say just a little below what it should be for town driving. But not bad for a car thats not run in or mapped
