...... my 2.2 does....the best its ever done....was 25mpg on a 360 mile run and i dont drive it hard.....

  and I thought the 23/24mpg from my 3.0 was sh1te!

[Taxi_Driver]

The idea is Tunnie i manage to get either a lpg converted Vectra or Omega....cost of conversion is about £1.8k for a 2.2 over £2k for a V6...something im not going to pay if i rent it out....see earlier post about £5k - £2k....see what i mean?

And you didnt come and say hello....when you were in Swindon? tut tut

Ummm theres 2 Asdas in Swindon both by dual carriageways....do you mean Asda Walmart? 4mile 40mph limit   dual carriageway runs right by it.....loads of traffic lights every few hundred yards?

Oh just got the pics of the repaired meega.....will do another post with them

[Markjay]

A bit confusing, the "zenon" (Xenon?!) could just refer replacement standard bulbs, not necessarily HIDs (hmmm, but headlight wash...).

"Heated Front ... screen" - new one on me. Or does he just mean the blower  

The headlamp washers suggest it's a proper HID.

I vaguely remember that some Elites came with heated rear side windows - but this was done by having a blower outlet at the top of the inside rear door trim. maybe that's what they were referring to?  :-?

i reset the fuel comp when joining the motorway once, did a 50 mile strech down the m40 doing 80mph.... averaged 38 mpg, the last dual carridge way town bit (still reving to 4k away from junctions) it dropped to 36mpg average.

But i generally get 33 ish from a tank

[Auto Addict]

On a long run I get 38 ish, but as I do a lot of 'tatting about' my overall consumption is 26+.

This improved from 24+ after I cleaned out the throttle body and breathers.

[Taxi_Driver]

Thanks Tunnie  

I guess you can see why it was a cat D insurance write off...... :-/

It's a bit of a way for me to go to check it out  

[Taxi_Driver]

Actually....ive decided against it now seeing the b4 pics!

Main reason is.....its silver and i dont like the colour  

Thanks for all your input on it guys  

[tunnie]

no problemo  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Er yeah lots of traffic lights, not sure which side its on. But I came to Swindon on the main road from Oxford... the first dual carridgway you hit there, it was off that.

What troubles me these days, any small ish prang and older cars are a right off  

Someone only has to tap me from behind and i bet mine will be declared written off  

See what you mean about the LPG... just an idea regarding plod ones.... And how dare your say Vectra on this site! Pah front wheel drive rubbish  [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

[Markie]
