have you checked the obvious for leaks?

halshaw1

yes checked all pipes ect would a faulty oxegen sensor use all that fuel

halshaw1

no leak on injectors just changed plugs,and idle speed control valve

Possibly a cracked valve had that on my escort 1.6 1998 year
My fuel consumption was terrible although the car seemed to drive fine

Lazy lambda would certainly not help.

When was it last serviced?

And also...fuel leaks! My ST isn't even that bad!

I once got 160 miles out of a full tank in my old 1.6 Focus.
Was doing stop/start driving and ragging the shit out of it

First of all I would get it plugged in and see if theres any codes.
If not then replace the lambda, if that don't fix it try driving it without the MAF or MAP sensor plugged in (Focuses had one or the other) and see if it improves.

Probably worth giving it a major service and running it on some decent fuel too!

Once I got my Focus running right I was getting 40mpg+ out of it without even trying.
