is it an 8v?

Get your air/petrol mixture sorted at a garage. your car could be running too lean.

Need more than a heavy foot to use that much fuel. Hows the car running?

Its an 8V
The car is running okish but I have just found out my battery is knackered.
Not sure if that would be a reason for ful probs tho.
