If it's only really doing 14 mpg then there will be black smoke coming out of the exhaust even on tick-over.

If you intend to use the car the easy way to check the fuel consumption is to fill the tank right up. Drive the car for a day or two then refill the tank. The amount used to fill it and the mileage readout will give you a reasonably accurate check on fuel consumption.---

You won't even get your hands dirty.---
