my 1.6 does 350 at the most, but on an average 300-320, but i use v power and i think it does more miles using that fuel cause of the higher octane level.

Ah so it seems mines all in order, thought that was a bit low but seems to be the average.
Was wondering if the lambada sensor needed changing as its a 13 year old car and as I've only had it 1.5 years and have no history of it ever being changed.

May seem like a silly question but what does a lambada sensor do?

Oxygen sensor in a one word...

300-330miles to a tank, but that with a broken exhuast, loose cam gasket and a loos manifold. But when working fine i was getting 400-450miles to the tank in a 1.4 8v CL thats on 10w30 oil, doubt it makes any difference.

Out of the valver I get 250-60 as its all town driving. I do rag it a bit too which may bring the number down a tad. Just a service which hasn't made the slightest of difference!
