I have suspected poor consumption for some time. :mellow:
This past few days, I did a trip to Scotland. I did 570 miles and used 77 litres of fuel - ie around 34 mpg. The car runs fine - starts, idles, runs ok. The tires were pumped up, the air filter is clean, the plugs are reasonably new, and I used the cruise control there and back - mainly motorways and no serious traffic delays.
My previous Accord on a similar journey, would return 40 mpg - Ok 39.4 to be accurate.
So there is something wrong. Its using 15% more fuel.
I know it could be anything in the fuel metering, sensors etc. Difficult to diagnose. Has anyone any experience with this, suggestions etc.
Thanks
