Fuel Problem

[jordyp]

got a fuel problem, car runs perfect but its going through the petrol really easy, done just other 100 miles on half tank, feels like the car is either got a leak or if something mechanical. i had 195 60 15 tyres on but just put steelies back on for now till i get low pro tyres, anyone help with what it can be?

well to be honest corsa gauges are crap. i can brim my tank until it clicks and then do about 160 miles before it even moves of the full mark then do about 225 ish and its quarter full and i need to fill it up again, how much 'moneys worth' are you putting in each time? and how much is your fuel at your station? because then you can work out your mpg and thats better to work from.

Half a tank on a Corsa is about 26 litres, so you should be getting about at least 200miles out of that. I only fill up 20 litres a week and i get about 200 miles. This would seem like you may have a minor leak or you corsa is running very rich. I get it taken to a garage so they can see where the problem is.
