Insignia towing mpg is rubbish

(1/10) > >>

T.m.f:
We used the insignia for towing last bank holiday,towed great plenty of torque but the mpg was worse then my discovery 300tdi,it was down to 26mpg . I expected more wasnt flooring it and used cruise control where i could,and even when its not towing it only gets 45mpg if were lucky,is there anything i can check etc to improve mpg,apart from getting a remap,its a 2.0cdti 160bhp auto sri.

Viral_Jim:
Guess your disco is/was manual?

That would account for the difference I would think. That and all the emissions gubbins on the insignia.  :-\

That doesn't seem too bad to me .... also of course depends what you're towing

Auto Addict:
My Merc tows at around 33 mpg, the Insignia was about 29 mpg.
