Hello, first i introduce you to my car:
1997 year Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 (4g63) GLS, mechanical transmission.
Well, i'm happy with my new purchase except it's hunger... Fuel consumption in city is about 17l/100km, highway - ~12-13l/100km. It's really too much!
What i've did:
changed engine oil, oil filter, air filter.
Did engine diagnostics, here's the results:

Also a few facts:
Sometimes, when engine is idle, rev drops to ~600rpm and you can feel strong vibration because of it. After 3-6 seconds it's back to normal - ~750rpm.
When driving downhill, using 3rd, 4th or 5th drive at 60-90km/h speed, car slows down and i sometimes event have to push accelerator. Strange. With Renault Laguna '95 i always had to use brakes.
I've passed MOT - said thant no problems with brakes or wheels..
Can you suggest anything? What to look for and try? Thanks for your answers!
