70 miles to a tenna sounds about right.
my car is at the garage now but iv got a feeling they wont be able to find anything wrong,im doing what rio verde says just jumping in a go and hopefully it helps but if it doesnt im seriously considering putting her back to standard 
when i dropped my car off the guy says if i took those stupid big wheels & exhaust off my car will be fine

I've got a stainless steel exhaust on mine i was told if i took that off it may be a bit better fuel consumption wise as i'm losing a bit of back pressure or something along those lines.
Garages really annoy me i hate smartarses and their comments

ok iv been and picked my car back up and couldnt find a thing they say is running 100% perfect,also had an emmissions test and flew through that aswell so the guy says it could only be down to you 16"wheels because a step up of 3" in wheel size is quite a bit because my cars engine was designed and built to run on 13" wheels not 16"and also means my speedo will be out and incorrect.
so he told me to put my standard wheels back on and do the 100mile petrol brimming thing again but with my steelies to see if theres if i get better mpg.
i hate steelies
