Re: crap Mpg,
Sorry, I'm a bit out of touch here - what does that equate to in miles per gallon?
Around town mine's pretty crap, I'm only getting about 6.5 (43 mpg)

Re: crap Mpg,
Oh, I see what you mean - that's about 15 mpg 
Can't imagine the oil doing that - is it possible you've dislodged a vacuum pipe or something similar?
You aren't losing diesel from the leak-off pipes / return fuel line, are you?
