guys/gals

i have a carb +cat 1.2 petrol corsa b.. started drinkin juice heavily past few weeks.. been trying to get it sorted and have so far:

changed oil + oil filter
changed air filter
had a new fuel tank fitted due to possible leaks being culprit
had emissions tested and all is ok

still gettin roughly around 120-140 miles on a full tank!
wtf is goin on?! so confused!

any light on this would be appreciated

spark plugs changed too.. old ones had soot or something around the firing point of black/bronze colour (more bronze than black)

cheers

emissions tested ok?

Must have a leak. Check fuel line, especially where they join fuel filter and where they join the carb.
