   What are you getting?
   
   My Furio is a 1.4 (same engine I'm assuming) and I'm getting 400 miles to a tank in the current cold weather (which also effects consumption. driving style will too).
   
   
   Replaced fuel filter is bound to have some sort of impact

   it will have no impact think about it all it does is filters fuel from any dirty parts that shouldnt be there if u removed it and just joined the pipes together it wouldnt make a difference although i wouldnt do it

    how is that logic ??!! thin about it the less fuel going through the less your car will use. if its blocked badly youl have some obvious performance isues but will most def not use more fuel as like ure saying mite be blocked. think about it....

    all it does is stop foreign objects ie dust grit ets from being able to reach injectors an beyond if it was faulty would cause fuel starvation which u would notice
