If you haven't measured the MPG by filling with a known amount (like brimming twice and using the refill quantity) then dividing that into the miles travelled between top-ups, then have you checked that your trip computer is using UK gallons?  I think someone else on here had inadvertently switched to US IIRC.

I average 22mpg round town and 26/27 on a run, but I'm not light on the right foot

I having been getting around 18mpg from my 3.2 on gas.  Factor in around 15% for fact its gas, around 21mpg on petrol as an estimate. Not driven like Miss Daisy Tunnicliffe, obviously...

Yeah, but my throttle has more than two settings

Cheapo Elite, 2.5 auto. 17 around town driving carefully. Max 27 on a run i.e. Whitby.
Interestingly, I still got 27 when I drove normally. (Bit of welly!!)  What's that all about?

"CLEANED" the Lambda(s)!?? Ah think that might be your problem....chuck a couple of new ones in.

The auto isn't as frugal as the manual. Have a look in the handbook and see what the figures are. Depends a lot on where and how you drive and how warm the engine is. If you're only driving 2 miles across town the engine won't get properly warm and you're start stopping so fuel economy will be atrocious. Think someone mentioned lambda sensors? Might be wrong but my understanding is that they only kick in once everything is up to temperature?

My 2.6 auto gets about 25mpg on a 100 mile run with a heavy foot. I have, by dint of not going over 60, managed to ease it over 30mpg on the same run but frakly the boredom was killing me. Around town, give the oil companies a single finger salute and stick to the push-bike!
