excessive fuel useage.

Got a 300E in that is a 1990 build car, using far to much fuel. Has the KE jetronic fitted, cold start valve is not leaking, any ideas to help me out please!

Did you check the O2 sensor? When my fuel usage shot up that was the problem.

Tyre pressures ok? Brakes binding? Right gear selected? Parking brake shoes clear?
