i had exactly the same problem, the car seemed to want to stall more than pull away and was using lots more fuel, turns out the induction kit wasnt fitted properly, could be a blockage in there maybe?

I get bout 90 miles for a tenner from a modded 1.6 16v.
Take it to a garage(preferably a rolling road) to check ure emissions as you must be losing fuel somewhere!
