   Big problem guys. basically in the last 3 days i have spend £15 a day on petrol just to keep my VTR running, and i havnt even been driving far at all. i know my exhaust is blowing a bit near the rear, and the middle box is knackerd and im getting it all changed to stainless steel this week,
   But is there anything else that could be making the MPG this bad, i dont think its a fuel leek cause it is parked up over night on my drive and there is never any on the floor or anything like that, and help or suggestions would be excellent
   Cheers guys!
   Ren

   £15 a day is crazy! thats not because of your exhaust! i think if you had no mani you would do better mpg than that... lol
   
   you sure theirs not just a leek when your driving? when you park it on your drive its fine but wen you take it for a drive thats when the pressure builds up. do u ever smell the fuel?

   Sounds like a fuel leak, really don't want to be driving if that catches fire you'll know it!

   does the lambda sensor make that much of a change to the car? mine was bent for a long time very damaged and it didnt make a difference. i think i drove my car without it one time and still made no difference i no it plays a big part in the way your car runs but its didnt seem to make a difference to mine...
