    Reset the ECU?
    Air filter isnt filthy is it? Fuel filter need changing? Any idea when the plugs were done?
    Not much of that means a lot to me (I know computers, not card =P)

    Looking over service history since I bought it (year ago) Ive had the air filters replaced bout 4 months ago and some oil filters/flush done?

    Its due to go in in Feb, what should I be asking the guy to do?

    Well that's why. 2km round trip. The engine doesn't even get a chance to warm up and the fuel mixture is probably rich as hell for the whole drive.

    Exactly, not as bad on mine. But if i drive predominantly suburbs, or lots of traffic lights then the fuel consumption will be crap.

    Currently getting about 700km to a tank at the moment, with about 75% hwy ks.
