Consumption Increased

In the last week,my fuel consumption has dropped from 32 to 24 mpg. I have reset the computer
several times with the same result. Anything obvious? Do the injectors need cleaning? If so, is the
only way with a fuel additive? TIA 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

Do you do a lot of short journeys?
If so, the recent cold weather could be to blame. The mixture fuel/air is much richer. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Check your brakes aren't binding also (are any of the wheels warm at the end of a journey where you haven't been hammering them?). I recently had a combination of delaminated rear pads and a binding handbrake and that knocked a few mpg off until it was sorted.
