i think any car would drink petrol if you drive it hard enough. i've filled my clio up to the brim (?35 of optimax) and the least ive done on it is about 140 miles lol. and thats with a little 1.4 :O

Try changing gear . . .

Sounds like you might have a hole in your fuel tank dude. Either that or someone has been sucking petrol out of it!
