It tells the ECU what temp the air is and fuels the engin accordingly, I would have thought that's why you're using alot of petrol. A lot of people unplug this and put in a resistor (on Ebay they are sold as chips for about 3 quid!) it tells the ECU the air is quite hot and it lets more fuel through giving more power, can't do any good.

brains, maybe you're going through "a fair bit of petrol" 'cos your right foot's too heavy??
