I believe it's down to your drivin mate
way to much right foot & wheelspin in these weather conditions -or your drag racing it
so about 9mpg then - ouch
take it outta first gear

if you do lots of stop start urban driving like me then hit will hit you hard --my mondeo 2.0 auto does only 15.5 mpg,(at an average speed of only 11mph) in fact my average mpg over 16 YEARS from average 1800cc is only 18.8 mpg.
I had a montego 1.6 which only did 16mpg- was it serviced?- well it did 32mpg on motorway fully laden whilst easily overtaking a 3.0litre shogun at over 100mph

Get rid of it mate. The new road tax charges soon to come into force will hit the big engine cars hard. Expect your car tax to rocket to about �300
