    Full service or check for yourself the condition of the plugs & air filter, a blocked/blackened air filter will increase fuel consumption.

    Heck that's terrible! Back in the 1980's I used to watch my fuel gauge go down on  pretty quickly on my MKII RS2000, but fuel was pretty cheap back then.
