[QUOTE="bmwcar, post: 141277, member: 2286"] Hi KingLazy, If the engine (sensors ok, no leaks in hoses or fuel cap), transmission (changing to all gears ok), brakes (no siezing) and tire pressures all ok, it could be that the short 10 min drives are the reason for the high fuel consumption. Notice that most cars, the first 10 mins give the worse consumption as the engine and transmission and the fluids are cold and thus the engine runs rich..... To confirm that your car is okay, over the weeked, fill up full tank and drive for about 45 mins for both days. If it improves, then it is the short drives that cause the high consumption. If not, then would need to check for leaks or software / sensor glitches..... I got about 300km per full take but that was due to 2 of my O2 sensors being kaput....... [/QUOTE]
