Don't know where to start really. Fuel economy is getting worse and worse. Last time I filled up I got 20L per 100k.
EJ25 NA.
Gen 3 liberty.
Has been serviced 5k ago.
Thanks.

Haha fuel additive and UEC isn't going to do much about 20L/100km economy on a 2.5L NA!
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Air filter, injectors, fuel filter.. change them all.
I dont know how and why but when I changed my panel filter to a K&N one my fuel economy went from 18L/100km to 10L/100km.
Don't ask.

UEC, air filter, and plugs..
you been running with AC on?
front demister is uses AC also (humid weather lately so maybe your using demister more than usual thus A?C is on.
UEC does make a difference with NA.. my ej22 was giving me 300 to a tank.. i was like wtf! UEC, fixed it for a month or so.. finally found the issue to be injectors but the EUC was helping.. just had to have the injectors proffesionally cleaned.
bad flow/dirty injectors = unburnt fuel, unburnt fuel = loss of power and loss of power = heavier foot
Mark is spot on though.. i get 9l per 100 and i do alot of city driving and often have my car loaded up with printers and servers..
an extra 1-200 kg at any time.
and i have been pretty heavy footed lately also but still hasnt changed it..

Pull out the plugs (you most likely be replacing them anyway) and take a photo of the ends and post it up here.
Do this after you have checked for codes.

The plugs can tell you how well its running.
