   to my vtr yesterday and my MPG has droped relly bad,
   yesterday i got 40miles to £10 and usually i get about 65 to £10
   i do no that more power = more fuel used, but i didnt think it would use that much more

   more than likely because you were driving it a bit harder because it sounds so much nicer with it on mate

   Made mine better on petrol if anything. Can easily get over 100 miles to a tenner if I take it easy.

   I'd give it a major service and check the pre-CAT lambda is ok.
