petrol cosumption when battery is dying

shoes34 · 2012-03-20 10:35:23

When turning on my engine it gives a strange noise and have been told by the garage that it needs a new battery. I forgot to ask them would this have been affecting my use of petrol, ie. would the car have been consuming more petrol because of a "bad" battery?
