sounds like youve covered pretty much everything, from the last logs you sent me your LTFT was spot on so the engine isn't using more fuel, so either it's leaking somewhere or exhaust is blocked causing you to use more throttle.

gutted my cat today it was blocked after i did that started the car the heater tap blowed up so got a new 1 and then went for a drive on the highway did 20km each way and the dash said i was on 16.1L/100km....

Is your handbrake on ?

Sounds like the extra fuel is required to overcome some high internal friction and requires extra force to turn the motor, gearbox or other ?

Just for interests sake what grade of oil are you using

I usually get 14 l/100km around the city and 7.8 l/100 km on country roads measured by filling and reading the odometer not by reading an on board gauge
