My phev seems to be using up petrol without using the battery. It is not on charge or save mode so not sure why this is happening. It has just had a service so not sure if this has anything to do with it. Any advice? :D
 
When it is below 10 Degrees (more or less) the car will start up the engine for the first few km-s to heat the interior.

Or simply try what happens when you set the heater to the lowest possible setting or turn it off totally.

Other likely causes are:
- insufficiently charge (sorry for that)
- petrol is too old and you need to add 15 liters of fresh petrol first
- driving over (approx.) 70 MPH
 
Thank you for your replays. Much appreciated. A new car for me so a little out of my comfort zone. :)
Yes the car is fully charged but the other points being made I will look at. Cheers
