Really cold spells coupled with short runs will bring the mpg down quite a bit - the automatic choke will be on for longer . This may be too obvious but I have noticed quite a significant drop in mpg in the winter cold periods . Also I do a lot of short runs. It still sounds like a pretty good mpg that you are getting !

Thankyou for your helpful replies ! Eventually I realised that a rear tyre valve was losing pressure very very slowly causing the sensor to activate. Once I got the valve changed the problem with the tyre sensor disappeared completely and the sensors have not activated for months now. If the sensor is triggered after a long run - when the tyre pressures have been reset earlier - I just check them for any obvious puncture/air loss then if all ok I just cancel the sensor message . But I only do this once . Fortunately the sensors are fine now .

My Mk 3 Jazz tyre pressure sensors have been activated frequently in the recent hot weather . A bit of a nuisance . Any suggestions please ?
