any change in driving style?
any change in tyre pressure?
any change in route to work?
any change in car servicing?
any change in petrol station?
any change in the number of passengers in car?
if the answer is "no" for all of the above, then maybe there is something wrong with the batch of fuel you pumped.
also, were you calculating it the same way before you notice the change?
what was your consumption before and after?

The super 4 can last to like 40,000km on a healthy engine.. probably you outrun it?

Since the former set served you well already might as well carry on using....Iridium fusion is like RM160 up, I think....

Oh! gone down? I used Denso Iridium before after that back to NGK Platinum, good enough. So much cheaper....
