What kind of driving are you doing, lots of sitting in traffic?
What engine and exhaust mods do you have?
Have you tried reinstalling the standard airbox and cold air intake?
You'd get probably over 300miles on 50 a litre tank then.
I tried to drive as economical as possible, every now n then i let my lead foot get the better of me.
The only mod I've got on my engine are a pair of K&N filters n some high performance HT leads.
I'm also missing my back box atm because it fell off the other week n i like the sound of it now, especially when it pops n bangs
I think it really needs a tune because it stinks of petrol and I timed its 0-60 n it was 11.5 seconds
It should be like 8 or 9 seconds shouldn't it.
