Re: High fuel consumption
Hi
Check the MAP and Water Temp sensor - Either clean or replace
Check Catalytic converter - if clogged - will need to be removed
together with a good service then check if the Engine Light still comes on.
Alternately get the car scanned to pin pint you in the right direction.

Re: High fuel consumption
Does the car battle to start in the mornings...if so injectors may be poked...relatively common issue on those 1.6's
