excess fuel consumption,ford fiesta zetec?

ford fiesta 1.2 zetec,using petrol up really quick and when you get out of it,it sometimes smells really strongly of fuel.it's only a 1.2 engine and we getting through 25-30 pounds worth of petrol in a week and only getting 150-170 miles.HELP!

a common problem is corrosion to the fuel filter. if it is very rusty, it may have a pin hole & will leak. they can be bought for £5 - £10

The smell and the poor consumption together suggest a leak - perhaps a garage will be able to solve it for you.

Good luck...
