I used STP Injector cleaner on my 2.3 Auto Scorpio and the MPG vastly improved. I put 1 350ml bottle in with £20 of fuel twice and after the second go the mpg improved by about 5MPG

Katana,

I think you may need to try the Granada site, this site/forum is for the Scorpio produced after 1995 and as such is a different animal.

try http://www.granada-and-scorpio-online.com and ask there

You might have better advice on the Granada site, this site is dedicated for Scorpios, not being at all rude just these cars are so different that some advice given may prove to be wrong. I think your Granada has a engine which is not in any Scorpio. :)
