i have a 900 convertible 2.0NA auto.
my fuel consumption is horrendous... its hovering around 12-14mpg in the city... and averages 24 on the motorway at 80mph.. and this is on the basis of several full tanks... and careful calculations over the last 3000 miles!.. no doubts whatsoever in the accuracy of the data then!
i've just had the 66,000mile service, which included all new filters, plugs,oil,etc.... but made no difference!!
what is wrong?
please no one says its due to the driving... because im trying to drive as economically as i can and it still wont increase. someone mentioned the thermostat may be stuck in the middle position... would this mean my engine fan won't work either?? (because the fan works perfectly... i hear it).. how can i tell if my DI is one the way out?
btw these are uk figures... so with US mpg its nearer 10mpg city!!!!!!
