My previous V6's averaged around 23.ish around town. After a week or so of sensible ish driving im averaging 19mpg. I don't have any running issues and I will have a service done in the next month. If a service doesn't improve things is there anything else I should be looking for.

My 3.2 is doing about 19 around town and I had 30 mpg at 70 mph on a 800 mile trip to Scotland last week, I had just done a service and the intake breathers before I went.

Were your previous V6's the DBW ones, or the more economical 2.5/3.0?

Mine always dips in winter.

[Dan282]

Yeah last one was 2.6 and prior to that was the 2.5.

Fuel consumption and driving an omega are not words that go together.
The way fuel prices are coming down, just fill her up

I'm surprised any Omega owner looks at mpg, I know they're rubbish at it, but love the cars!

By a v8 then complain

Im not over bothered. Its my 3rd v6 and is just a bit thirsty compared to my last ones.

Yep I can push around 27 mpg from a 3.2 Manual in and out of London, does drop a tad if I use it on LPG though.

Mine is a 2.2 and all i ever get round town is 19.2. So i would say your doing well.

New stat 

Got 43 mpg on a run , cant complain at that from the superior engine  Town driving will hammer the mpg

Check multi Rams are working. Check cam timing with a cam gauge from a locking kit. Make sure exhaust isn't blocked. General servicing as you say.


.....other than that, Lift and coast.
