The 1.6 is the most uneconomical engine in teh X40 range, as it is quite small for the weight of the car. So don't be that surprised if the mpg is quite low. Saying that, if your mpg is too low, then you may have a problem indeed. Reading the engine codes would be a good start. It could be something as simple as the MAF being dirty and reading the wrong air volume
