i only get that on my 110 se, it is caused by a medical condition that causes all the lead in my body to acumilate in my right foot.

44 Lucky you, 22 is about what i get.

With my lcr i get combined at the moment 23.5 at the time of driving not sure on the right word but i get around 33mpg

Ok sensible answer time. Id have thought a faulty sensor would DRASTICLY drop fuel consumption.

The urban value for the leon is 42mpg so your getting a little above that.

if you take it on a long drive you will see benefits. I get about the 44 -46 mark mostly but when i go up to cumbria i end up with about 55+mpg . so it all depends on your driving style.

Check your tyre pressure aswell, should be about 32 psi

44mpg is good really - what figures were you expecting? Based on what information?

Mine has a serious fueling problem at the moment but even i still get more than that around town. Shares in Shell must be paying you dividends!
