I'd be tempeted to get the car on a co2 meter, and serviced... and also get yourself a vacuum gauge... that'll tell you immediately if you're running around on more than part throttle..


already have a vacume gauge, what should i look for on that? throttle about half way the needle is on drive, foot to the floor it sits back on the needle again?

I think its common knowledge that vacume gauges are pretty pointless. I'd just get ur car booked in for a session at a reputable rolling road and see if they can sort out your problem mate. I'd imagine you've got a serious problem with over fueling or your leaking fuel because 18mpg is shocking :D
