Do you know when it was last serviced? All vehicles I have are always better after a good service.
I assume it's an automatic? Is this town driving, or a mixture?

Simple one to answer....is the temp gauge getting upto a reasonable temperature in a reasonable time?

Hi & welcome mate. You have to factor in the prevailing weather & driving conditions as they will have a major impact on MPG just now. :y
