    I think the fuel cap may be a bit loose and the petrol is evapourating

    Has the 14 months serviced in summer exhaust fumes look normal no sign of anything wrong - only being driven very short distance ( 50- 60 miles per week ) car is probably always cold but even that can't account for such low mpg
