Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Sudden increase in fuel usage.

Recently (as in the past week)

My car has been using A LOT and I really mean a lot of fuel...is it the cold?

See normally I get 18mpg with mixed driving including a fair bit of hoonage *straightens halo*

But in this weather you simply can't drive like that because you'll slip off the road and die...end of.

When I mean a lot I'm talking about half a tank to 70 miles?

Normally I get 150 out of half a tank...

I haven't hit any kerbs recently so I doubt it's tracking.

My car is misfiring occasionally but I know it's way overdue for a service...

any ideas?
