This is coupled with poor fuel consumption, honda only managed to acheive 48mpg on a test to verify my complaints of low consumption.

They have said they are now going to remap the ECU but have also said that the oil consumption is NORMAL and within theior range of 1 litre / 600miles!!!!!! I personally think the two are linked anybody got any suggestions?

Anybody else seen these figures!
I'm guessing that you have the 2.2 hence the complaint about the low mpg which for some folk they would say thats good. All depends on where your driving, how fast, what gear etc.

I don't think i've heard of anyone use that much oil in such a small period of time, I haven't been keeping a track of the amount of oil that I use a huge bottle and never mark it off.

So glad you don't have an RX8 then because they drink oil!
