He took it in for his annual service, and thereafter, his consumption dropped back to normal. He looked at the invoice and noticed an item for the replacement of a faulty temperature gauge on the diesel fuel line. "Yes", the mechanic said. "The fuel was overheating. The sensor was faulty, and never cut off". So, the guy short circuited the sensor, and back came his sensational fuel consumption.
