Hummm... Ok... So the car used more fuel... how much extra?

For the last 9 months or so I have noticed that I have lost about 65 miles in distance per tank-full of fuel around town - but seems to recover after a trip to cornwall (450 mile round trip) - then degrades over the next few weeks driving around town again. In other words, there is a noticeable difference in fuel economy driving around town before and directly after a long trip.

Could this be related to a VIS motor problem? Are there any other symptoms with VIS motor failure?

PS> With regards to performance... wouldn't know, I never push the engine/car at all (keep to the speed limits and change up early)
