a bad thermostat, as in one that is jammed open is the biggest culprit of bad mpg, as the thermostat is open all cooling systems work harder and a car uses stupid amounts of petrol, i simply wouldnt own a zed if i got 210 miles from a tank, that would be under 18mog ?? as said my heavily tuned impreza does more than that.
