£10 to 30 miles is definitely wrong.
If that £10 was £1.15/litre of petrol, it works out at 15mpg.
There is something wrong.

When I had my Ibiza on Castle Combe doing ACC, I was averaging 24MPG, so 15MPG out of a 1.4SRi is poor.
EML light on? Anthing out of the norm?

Theres your problem, get the fault codes checked. Down on power?
Could be anything to do with Air Flow or the Lambda sensor.
