3.2 good on fuel? What are you smoking  :o

Its really shite on fuel and crap power given its fuel use, a 6.0 V8 Monaro is better on fuel on a good run!

A Jag XJ 4.2 V8 uses about same fuel as 3.2 GM lump!

I get 27 mpg on gas in the 2.2, that costs 67p litre to fill up.

3.2 gets 27 mpg, but that costs £1.34 litre to fill up  ::)

Suspect I'd get around 20mpg if I gassed the 3.2....

3.0 is better on fuel, better idle too, have I mentioned I'm not really a fan of the DBW V6s  ::)
