Hmm...
I have a similar problem on my 205 1.8 DT but thats completely standard so it can't be over fueling(it runs really clean...) thats the issue I don't think it could be sticky injectors either because my expiriance has taught me that injectors either work or they don't.... (weather they work well or not is a different matter....) maybe fuel filter is causing the problem because I haven't changed mine since I bought the car... so it is on the list come service time, probably do it sometime soon... any other ideas? Injector leak back? only does it some times... you put your foot on the go juice and it like jumps a bit then goes...
... as for fuel economy I used to get about 45 mpg on average from my 306 when it had the 1.9 in it(tuned lucas and K14 running 18 psi with little smoke when flooring it)..... I used to drive to telford and back 5 days a week on the m54 and on the a5, and it used to get the hammer down for that.....my new job where I only drive 5 miles there and 5 miles back then I got about 38 mpg
I'd say really that the people quoting 600 miles a tank either granny there cars or do a lot of dual carrage way or motorway driving.... The most I ever got out of a tank was 650 miles and that was doing 90mph on the m6 from cannock to solihull (70mph on the m42 tbh)
