If you need to check it you're driving the wrong car (unless a lamda sensor has gone) or are very bored.

I used to regularly get 300 miles to a tank in my S, but 72500 miles is bloody good going

I'm only getting about 180 miles on a tank, I must have a leak

Have a leak before you go out driving, you'll probably drive slower if you're not so desperate.

I only started checking as I can constantly smell petrol and since I drove out of the petrol station with the nozzle still attached to my car, I'm concerned something might just not be quite right

So you're the one on You Tube!

A few months back I thought a company car was leaking diesel, till I got the same smell in the S, I'd splashed it on my trainers DOH!.

You must have a leak somewhere Saz, my old G60 went like that, turned out to be the seal on the top of the tank where the fuel pump is...was getting about 15mpg as a result of half of it evaporating!

Either something along those lines or you VTEC everywhere!
