heavy right foot? Hot weather causes increaded fuel consumption as the engine runs hotter.

some pumps are more sensitive to the back pressure that makes them click and stop supplying fuel, maybe this is the case and you didnt actually fill the tank completely, maybe enough to show as full tank but only just??

You just put the new wheels on? they would be the cause, for a starter they dont give an accurate speedo or oddometer reading and they extra force used in turning the heavy alloys sucks petrol. On my 1.2 16V B i got 230-240 miles out of a full tank (£30) on 17's, Ive sold them and currently run on 14" steels where I get 300 miles out of a tankfull (£30) everytime!
