You should get better consumption than that. The 1.4 16v has a air temp sensor, plus with the hear the engine gets to the outside temp will have little bearing once its reached full temp.... | |

if you have air con and have it constantly on then this will add to fuel consumption though nothing drastic | |

Kris TD is right because when it's hot the air is less dense and so the ECU doesn't add as much fuel. Also you loose performance too. | |

cars use more fuel in the cold than the heat. | |

Hiya, i just brought a 1.4 16v Corsa (98) and the fuel consumption seems to be an awful lot at the moment.I also just changed the oil,oil filter,sparks and air filter because they hadnt been done for a while. |
