SOURCE: Chevrolet captiva 2.0 lt poor mpg captiva has

I also have a Chevy Captiva 2L Diesel but with the auto box. The MPG on that one is abysmally bad! I bought it a few weeks ago with just under 30K miles on the clock (2007 model), and it returns around 230 miles on a full tank! That's around 17 MPG and probably on par with a Hummer!!
I was expecting the auto box to be less efficient than the manual of course but not to consume twice as much. Anyone out there with any ideas as to why this could be? I was actually already checking under the car to see if it loses fuel... We live in the suburbs and our trips can be considered a mix of urban and extra urban (they are admittedly on the short side and from a cold winter start; still, this doesn't justify the extremely low MPG). The car seems adequately powered for its weight and considering the small'ish engine and auto box.
Thanks!

What is the normal fuel consumption rate of a 2001 v4 Toyota highlander ?

It is impossible to say because of all the variables involved=== Speed --terrain---climate conditions--load --city, country driving--drivers driving habits ( heavy footed , always on the brakes) road conditions --tyre size--tyre pressures--- current draw from the alternator ( extra radio gear )-- roof loads . basically if you get 10 litres / 100 klms it will be average . There are some good auto magazines that include fuel consumption when they discuss different vehicles.

BMW 530i 2001 engine struggles under load

If a coil was bad, it would be missing or misfiring. Could be a clogged filter or a weak fuel pump. To check have the fuel pressure tested. If pressure is good, a tune-up might help.

Change the MAS mass air sensor they get clogged and can cause the symptoms you are describing a clogged sensor prevents the engine breathing properly causing a loss of power and an increase in fuel consumption replace it
