Are u looking at the average consumption or real time? And or are you just flooring it

could be as simple as a service needed.

I'd recommend getting some basics checked out. Similar generation car to mine and I've always been very surprised, impressed and pleased with my economy = 50+ MPG once warmed up on A roads and 60+ MPG on longer motorway runs.

How are calculating the MPG?

By the computer on board and also the fact that when I fuel up It doesn't last long as my last car
