    Its the 4g63 not the astron. Didn't get the Astron here much at all. Drive it fairly hard I spose but only so I can get to 100kph! Takes ages otherwise, but I'll try tone it down a bit. Makes sense bout the fuel gauge stuff.

    Probably taking it on a big trip (at least 600km or so) next week so I'll see how much fuel it uses on the trip, be able to find out the litres per 100km then.

    Is there an actual massive amount of difference in how much it is using as opposed to what it used to?

    Anyway, I was talking to Ryan, he thinks its an actual fuel leak as opposed to some engine problems, I s'pose its possible, but it might not be... depending on how fast your going thro' the gas. He also told me you failed you WOF on 10 different problems, hard luck. Rofl.

    I would've noticed it by now and I'm sure the WOF guys would've noticed it...but do realise here that NO PETROL IS MISSING FROM THE TANK!

    I was sure the "but yeah" left a little room for the obvious -.-

    if the car does not smell like petrol, there is no fuel leak.
