Not sure what the problem is, but I get about 240 miles out of £50 of juice (mix of dual carriageway and town driving).

Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
The rotten-egg smell comes from a clogged or plugged catalytic converter or a very rich fuel mixture. Which can also give you really crappy mpg? Hows it driving mate? does it pull ok through the gears? Could be a collapsed pre-cat or the main cat given up?

21-01-2017, 10:26 AM #7No warning lights on the dash ? I wonder if one of the sensors is acting up. Sounds like it's over-fuelling if you're using way too much fuel, which often can be down to a sensor problem.

Mikey is200/s13 when i tried to give it i hit the valve lift just over 4k rpm it stinks like bad eggs thats whats pointed me to the cat any help please
Sorry to be pedantic but its the variable inlet manifold opening at 4.2k - IS200 has not got lift adjutment (VTEC / VVTL-I.)
Along with the cat and sensor suggestions can be the engine running too hot (but you would notice on the temp gauge) or a dodgy fuel pressure regulator.
Was Supercharged Racing Green IS200 Sport. Now APR Stage 1 Seat Leon Cupra (220 Bhp).

The VVT-i is active across the rev range, and doesn't suddenly kick in like VTEC or similar, but the inlet manifold does suddenly open up (it has a valve inside it to change its shape internally), and this is what you can sometimes feel/hear at about 4k-ish rpm.
You could get the fuelling checked on a rolling road.
