Ever since i started using (shell's V-power ) the petrol goes down really fast , i had a
30km drive and it went from (F=Full ) to the middle . i dont know if that kinda fuel burn's faster but i was really surprised
Car ( ek hatch ) D16y4 (Eco box lol)
its Automatic and ill admit ive been driving really hard , ( had a few race's etc )
but i still don't get why it would finish so quickly

Switch to BP ultimate next time you need to and report back.

30km for half a tank could be a guage problem. Fill back up to the top and see how many litres it put in?

dude.. 30 km for half a tank thats rediculous
you should get better fuel economy from v power as opposed to e10
your fuel gauge must be stuffed
do as the other guy said.. fill it back up and see how many litres its used

If you really are chomping that much fuel, when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? Clean your O2 sensor(s) and reset your ECU also.

Are you getting to operating temperature? IE car not running cold all the time?
