Hi guys for the past couple of months ive noticed that my car is very slugish and the throttle response is quite poor. It has been serviced less than 6 months ago. Also i have noticed that mpg has been poor around 100 miles for £20. Any ideas on improvement guys

The price of fuel has gone up, so obviously you will get less miles to £20
What did you change when you serviced it?

Its been like this for a while now even when petrol was about 110. Oil filter. Oil. Fuel filter. Air filter. Pollen filter and spark plugs. What about the throttle response

Change the Spark Plugs for Bosch ones, and change the fuel filter.
Is the clutch slipping?

Bosh super 4 should be fine got them in mine. Try cleaning the map sensor and running some injector cleaner threw it.
