last week i filled the gas and petrol . i normally get about 18l/100klm on gas and about 14/100 on petrol this varies as to how hard i boot it but always about the same. now within the week im getting 23-26l/100klms! car is running fine, no miss or flat spots, no holding back, nothing. have checked for leaks ect cant find anything wrong. being on gas most of the time im wondering if its time for plugs and leads?

Possibly time for new ignition equipment. Have you tried reseting the ECU?

o2 sensor might need a change as well, can effect gas on cruise i`m told but not sure 100 percent on that one, but worth a look for sure.
