    Well lads, any Toyota experts around? :)
    My g6 1.3 has been a bit thirsty for the last month and I don't have a clue what's going on, I've tried all the different brands of petrol and no difference, I got new tyres, checked the pressure etc.and I'm not being any bit heavier with the boot than I usually am? Anyone have any suggestions?

    Are your journeys short ones? If so, this past month has been quite cold and with short journeys the car might still be running with the choke on.

    Q, How can you realisticly gauge 60 - 70 miles to a 20?
