8 MPG?!
i have a stage 3 sapph cossie, only running low end stage 3, about 320Bhp, yet only getting about 8mpg when im a bit throttle heavy, so to say, and about 13mpg if i drive off boost all the time, this is around town, surely i should be getting more than that?!

it could be his car is running way too rich and borewashing and thus causing damage.
when was the last time the car was setup? Has it ever been setup since you have owned it?
What chip is the car running?
Whats the engine spec?

yes but carl you diesel is remapped and thus willl drink more than std when you on hard throttle so not really a fair comparison.
i drove my 400bhp cossie hard on the road and also on the track and each time I did for a whole tank i only managed 150 miles to a tank my average used to be 200. Car was setup by Ahmed and was running spot on.
I think is car needs a setup as now way shold a stage 3 engine be drinking like that.

Mine is also stage 3 and off boost the fuel consumption is pretty good, it's only heavy when I boot it 
Who set yours up and I'm guessing it's on dark greens?

What did 150-200 miles on your cossie equate to MPG?

Are you really as cretinous as that statement would imply? If he is only getting 13mpg when driving off boost all the time then something is clearly wrong!
As already suggested bore wash would be a good reason to be "that bothered"

When I first got my stage 3 cossie on a T34.63 and greys with a Paul Hills chip I once put in £15 when it was on the red. Reset the trip and it did 18 (quite hard 
) miles before it was back in the red. Under 10mpg!
Put a MSD chip in with closed loop and did Southend PF meet and back on £15
