I got my Punto Sporting MK2 MOTed yesterday, 3rd MOT but car only has 10,300 miles on the clock as I work form home and don't drive it much.
At the same time I asked that they change the oil and oil filter - they provided the filter and I had already bought Chevron Fully Synthethic Oil which has pretty high specs.
I only got to drive the car a short diatnce so maybe not enough time to see - The car does some to be a bit smoother and faster now, BUT the MPG reading on the car is saying about 24 to 25 MPG when usually it's about 34 MPG about town (no traffic)
Could an oil / filter change have affected the MPG to do down but this much?
Only other thing I can think is the tyre pressure is lower due to something that happened during the MOT or just that this is a computer glitch?
I'm to to try and take the car ona longer runtoday and maybe stop by a petrol station and check the tyre pressures - but any ideas in the mean time?
