I got a 1.4 8v and dbilas tb's and get about 200 miles on a tank, which is about £35

the inlet allows more air into the engine therefore more fuel goes in to compensate, thus the car uses more fuel

I'm managing around 320 miles to a full tank.

Still not bad, was on about 350 standard.

really

please explain how you come to that conclusion.

1. de-cats do not affect fuel consumption.
2. they defiantely do not cause valves to burn
