Pretty much the last week or so my fuel economy has been shocking.
Currently avaeraging aroun 22mpg, admittitdly its mainly town driving but it just seems really low.
Along with this i noticed today that the cars hesitating when accelerating?

Any ideas?

You can use the search function and find all this.

It will be you coolant temperature sensor or you lambda sensor.

Just get it plugged in to a computer.

Hmm, as said, it could be the lambda sensor

Is your fuel gauge going down quicker or is your trip just reading lower than normal?

Fuel gage seems to be dropping quicker too, will chack out this lambada sensor
