thats bad
could be a mixture of a few things
MAF sensor
plugs
oil
air filter
lambda sensor
incorrect tyre pressures
or with that sort of consumption you may have a fuel leak somewhere and it's weeping fuel out as your driving, does the car smell of fuel anywhere or when driving?.
tbh i'd like to see ATLEAST 130-150 miles from £20 maybe less with just town driving
i get around 230 miles from £35 two blokes in the car with tools with a mixture of m40 and london rush hour traffic

no fuel leak what i can find been told maybe petrol tank fuel sensor coz for some reason the petrol light does not seem to come on when low which is strange coz when i first turn the ignition it comes on and goes straight off as normal (so i know the light definatly works ) its just very confusing

fuel gauges can be eratic, i'd buy a gallon and put in the boot and drive until it stops.
my light comes on when the gauge reads empty and then does another 30 ish miles with the light on.
