car drinking petrol

[Robbie]

hey

i have a 1.1l peugeot 206 and it seems to be drinking petrol atm. don't have any figures about mpg or anything, but £15 at about 134.9p lasts me about half a day hardly driving anywhere. pretty much never brake or accelerate harshly as i have a smartbox on the car.

any idea what it could be?

thanks

I know my vehicle seems to be drinking its petrol like nobodys business. I only go on it like 3 times a week for about 30mins (1hr 30mins a week) and my tank seems to be near enough empty buy the 3rd day I go out on it

Roughly how many miles are you driving? You shouldn't be going through £15 in a half a day that's like 75 miles

About 10-15 lol

Short journeys will use more petrol, is the car regularly serviced?

[redtom]

No way you should be using anywhere near that much fuel, book it in somewhere and get it checked out.

That's ridiculous, I can easily make £45 (full tank) last ~3 - 4 weeks, with usage everyday in my 107.

I could prob drive say 35 miles on £10 to be fair and thats a hyundai coupe

there's no way a 1.1L engine should burn that much petrol, my car is a 3.0L i6 and I was averaging 300 miles per tank on the highway on my way home.. so doing all the math it costs me a little more than 40 pounds to fill my car and drive 300 miles.

get the fuel filter changed and if you cant do it yourself it wont cost much at a garage, the other BIG thing to check is air filter, you can easily do this yourself especially on a pug lmao and it only costs couple quid
