Higher than normal fuel consumption
For the past several months I've noticed my fuel usage increase by about 10-15%.
Any ideas on what could be the cause of this on a very low mileage D5?

There are of course a large number of possible causes. Like dragging brakes. Or low tire pressure.
Clogged particle filter may cause too frequent clearing cycles. |

shorter journeys due to lockdown is my key factor. Once normal service is resumed MPG will improve
