Over the last few days my car has started to use quite a bit more fuel, coincided with the start of the cold weather whether thats related or not. The trip computer usually says I'm getting on average 38mpg, this has dropped to 32-34mpg over the past four days. This is backed up by having to put more fuel in at fill up - about £2-£3 a night on 80 miles travelled (it's a taxi so brimmed at the end of every shift.). Turbo *seems* to be working, I can hear it spinning up as usual, and I can't notice any difference in performance. Theres no extra electrics being used or aircon, just the same as I always have. Other than the extra consumption I have'nt noticed anything wrong, no strange sounds, smells, warning lights, rattles or clunks. Oil and water levels correct. Spoken to other drivers with the same type of car and they're all running as normal. Any ideas?
