Totally agree!!
Having pretty much exactly the same problem mpg wise with my 180 atm!! Over the past week it keeps dropping to just under 29 mpg driving like a granny, first time in my ownership, as I always reset it after a short blast to keep it around 33mpg!! Got mine booked in for a diagnostic but got a feeling its down to the plugs!
Will be great to hear the outcome of changing the plugs

Plugs now changed to Bosch 'Supers' original Peugeot 180 part - Bosch FR7ME
NGK's 'LFR6B' came out.
Car now idling nicer and car pulling more cleanly throughout the entire rev range. I am aware the idle isn't the smoothest going on the 180 at times but immediately it was idling nicer and not jumping in revs as frequently.
Computer reading about 35-38mpg cruising at ~70mph on the motorway earlier (I don't know how accurate the computer actually is though!) but all bodes well and essentially initial thread solved.
There is still a split second 'gap' if you floor the car from low revs ~1000rpm but being a highly tuned multi valve engine this is kind of inevitable and on reading other threads normal - although sounds like an induction kit could reduce the effect slightly.
This is about the only pic of the car I have - which is from the original sale ad
and if you happen to be interested this is my normal daily driver.
The 206 is in general good order with a fresh cambelt done earlier this year, completely stock apart from what I think you guys call SP goodies like the bonnet/bumper grills/fuel cap and interior bits.
All in all it's been an excellent little car though.
