I will double check the brakes. But it recently had new brake hoses, and a new caliper on one side with new glide pins on the other side. It is not pulling and feels nippy enough.

Probably :P

I drove it again this weekend and the clutch is slipping sometimes. Waiting for a new one :) I have also changed the bosch spark plugs I bought from the bigjimny store. They have a big tip. The new Brisk ones I bought have fine wire tips. And seems like that did something. It does not struggle at low revs anymore!

Good the plugs helped. If it is still thirsty, Could it be bad gas on the island? Condensation in it?
Air filter?
Low tire pressure?
Leaky intake manifold?
Stuck or bad dynamo/ac/power steering/something?

Check fuel pipe run to and from engine to tank as they get a lot of crud at the tank end and they might have pin hole leak!

They dont sell fuel there, I have to bring it from the city. Its all new and good :) Will have to see how it is now, but I have used it a bit and the the fuel gauge isnt going down so fast that I can see it anymore. Tire pressure is not bad I think. Could be a leaky manifold or something stuck. Will check if all pullys are spinning! Thanks :)
