Had the car in yesterday for the oxygen sensor recall and the garage put some fuel in the tank persumably as compensation for the inconvenience but they did not mention it. But my polnt is that the fuel consumption shown on the read out after refuelling is 35.7 mpg. Over the 2.5 years that I've had the car the consumption has never been as high, around 31 usually. Could this be the result of the O2 sensor being changed or the effect of it being the hottest day of the year.

[ChrisKaye]

Possibly both!

If the O2 sensor caused the car to run rich, you'd have poor mpg.

However the hot weather may adversely affect mpg if the car has to cool the batteries/inverter, I'd imagine?
