: Gentlemen

: My Zed - 30k, UK supplied, main dealer maintained (for the benefit of the service book and resale, you understand)regardless of cost

: So why oh why can I not get more than 20 miles out of a tenner. I mean, about £4.40 a gallon so call a tenner 2 gallons. 20 miles equates to 10 miles a gallon. I'm not a Larry Leadfoot and drive relatively responsibly.

: Now I've had it time and time again with Sytner about this. They swear blind that the consumption's fine. I would believe them if I didn't know that they rely completely on that poxy computer in the service bay. "Check spark plugs ?!, distributor cap for corrosion??!!, ignition leads worn???!!!" - All these basic tests are eschewed in favour of the computer.

: Is it worth me going to a real mechanic to check this stuff and if so, will it invalidate my (expensive)warranty ?

What? From my somewhat dodgy maths I make it that you only get about 80 miles out of a full tank!

Full tank = no more than £40 divided by £10 = 4 then multiplied by the 20 miles you get for a tenner.

My Zed always gets about 200 miles (320 k) out of a full tank.

Maybe a bit less if I've just watched a Grand Prix!

Anyone else want to post their fuel consumption figures?
