After getting my JCW back after it went in to get fixed under warranty I now find that the MPG reading has dropped considerably. It was sitting at 32 then when I went out last night it went down to 25 then up to 27 and I was constant, didn't hammer it at all and the fuel gauge looked as if it went up( not a bad thing some may say ). They told me they replaced the air pressure sensor after the engine warning and traction control light came on but how can these other readouts now seem to be off. Have they done something to the ECU as well???

Have you yourself done a reset and then drive it around as you would normally for a few days, and then see what it sits at?
I can reset mine and do short trips around the place and it will average at 27,pg, if I reset and do a long trip, it will average at 32 and stay there too.
