pug206gti - fuel fault and antipolution fault theory - bezford

i know these are thirsty but ive put about£70in and done 50 miles?that might not be too bad but the car reaks of fuel and the fuel gauge drops from near half full to just above empty/bottom mark in just about 3 to 5 miles?im not sayin i get half the tank for 5 miles i was just enquiring if its a fault or normal?and could a fuel leak be a problem as i say it does reak of fuel on small journeys.~????ALSO THE ANTI POLUTION FAULT has appeared on my newly bought 2002 model and i wouyld love to hear of a remedy for this coz as it sounds to me it sounds like sensor problems followed by ecu reading wrongly...maybe a new lambda sensor and a cat sensor along with the latest relative mapping of the ecu might do it?just an idea?please respond about my fuel leak query,thanks.
