Okay folks, looking to pick some brains here before I go to the dealer about this.

05 Focus 2.0L Duratech 27,900km

In the last two weeks the car has been sucking back gas like I would have drilled a hole in the gas tank, from an average before the problem started of 9L/100KM to the last fill up today at 10.4L/100KM with the same mix of driving (approx 60km short trip city and 200km highway per week)

Only other thing I've noticed is that the exhaust note seems "boomier" until the car warms up (5 - 10 minutes of driving) and the occasional crappy idle (The RPM's are at the normal range at a stop but occasionally the engine idle isn't smooth at all, not the the point of stalling, but I can feel the vibrations)

Any ideas?
