When was it last serviced? Oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter change will help sort it out.

What sort of miles are you doing? Town miles can nearly halve MPG. You need to give us some context!

I used to average around 30mpg (mixed commute / A-roads).

Mine is pretty low because I drive it 90% on urban roads and blasting it around 3-4k revs quite often :roll:
