Default XR5 Fuel Consumption Increase

XR5 LV Focus now 9 months old. Only done 8500ks.

I was getting 10.8/100 up until a few months ago when it slowly increased to 11.3/100. Yes. I'm using the air con, but I was using it just as much back in December/January when I got the better figure. The tyre pressures are right. The traffic is about the same and I really didn't put THAT much weight on over Christmas!

Any ideas why the increase? I thought it was supposed to get better as the donk loosened up. I possibly started using a different petrol station at around the time it changed - but it changed over a period of about 6 weeks rather than within a tank or two if it was crap petrol. I'm using 95RON all the time.

Is this a sign of trouble?
