I think you've got a heavy foot or a fuel leak

Local driving?
I drive 2 miles to work, and 2 miles home (funny that!), and with the odd trip to my mams, nipping over to tesco, waiting at the traffic lights etc I'm getting between 17~20 mpg.

Whats it like on a long drive?

Poor engine your not even giving it time to warm up. No wonder your only getting 17~20 MPG.

With the mods you should get it remapped, otherwise the ecu will be trying to compensate for more fuel and more air without having the settings adjusted so therefore possibly overfuelling!
