When was the last time you serviced it, and changed fuel filter etc?

Smell any leaking petrol??

before i brought the car it was serivced and that was about 1 month ago the pwner before did it and no smell of petrol.the car has a stock exhuast system but i think its a little louder than normal when if it has a exhaust leak it wouldnt take that much petrol right??
cheers guys

depending on how big your leak is

but, yeah it can chew that much petrol with an exhaust leak. in the serivce, do you know what they changed? they might not of changed everything that could be linked to it also.

Is your fuel gauge accurate?
Fill up til full, drive until the needle reaches the middle, then write down the distance you travelled. Fill up to full and divide number of litres with the number of kms drive.
