    Look at the temp sensor - if it thinks the car is cold it will feed it lots of fuel.

    Also the tensioner pully may be worth a few L/100kms if it is worn. (some one put a thread up on this the other day)

    When she's empty, how much fuel are you getting back in? Is it possible your gauge is telling you fibs?
