Daewoo Lanos using a lot of petrol

Car: Daewoo Lanos
Variant: 1.6 SX Auto
Model Year: 2000
I seem to be using a hell of a lot of petrol, I only get about 200-230 miles per full tank, can anyone suggest anything to improve this?

The injectors could be giving too much fuel, check the colour of the spark plug ends, if they are black then the fuel is burning too rich. (They should be mushroom coloured)

Thank you for that Phil. I have been looking at getting some BG 44K to help, what do you think?
