Default Fueling Question

Noticed i only got 220 miles from a full tank in the run around escort.. which cant be right.. so i asume it overfueling..

its J reg and is the 1.4 cvh, has an unleaded symbol on it so ive been filling it with unleaded.. ne1 know if im wrong (or the sticker lol)

When i used 2 fill the xr2 with unleaded if i cudnt make it 2 the station with lrp it would drink it very quickly.. so this could be the problem..

Mines been drinking heavily recently aswell, i've put it down to cold weather meaning the choke stays on longer, esp. as i only drive like 5 miles to work twice a day.. Looking at 140 miles / 7.5 gallon tank = not cheap esp. as petrol has gone p three times in as many weeks
