wouldn't hurt to clean the injectors you can try some injector cleaner in your gas and see if it help, but your probley going to want to send them somewhere to have them cleaned. I don't know anywhere in Australia off the top of my head but be have www.cruzinpreformance.com and some others here in the states that can do it.

Check and make sure the 02 sensor is working.

Ohm out the water thermo sensor, FROM the ECU. Its easier from there. See fsm for details.

Possibly an injector issue. Number ten on my list.

Make sure the boost/pressure sensor is functioning.

Possibly low compression.

Download the manual from http://www.iluvmyrx7.com to do the above. Just download the FUEL section alone. Less time involved.

You probably have a very poorly tuned computer. A well tuned prgrammable computer should improve fuel economy over stock, not worsen it.
