    not enough kilometres from a tank

    I have a 2013 My 14 Polo. I got it's first service after 1 year, since that service I only get 420 kms to a tank of petrol instead of the 600 + I used to get. I took it back to the service centre, and they just said they would need to look at the car. It's RPM's are 800 at idol, and there is nothing else wrong with the car. Any suggestions would be great.

    Have you changed brand / spec of fuel, driving style, driving locations? Does someone else also use your car?

    how big is the tank and how much are putting into it each refuel.

    that will prove if you have a faulty gauge.

    Has your driving style changed, or your supplier of fuel?

    How many litres per 100 km are you getting? km per tank means nothing
