I used to get about 27mpg average running about and 35 on a motorway run. This was on a 2.0 auto saloon.

God i starting to get jealous at the moment my 2.0 is doing about 10 mpg.   But i ony do about 2miles to work and 2miles home(yes i know i'm a lasy git) so it doesnt get chance to get off cold running.  On the plus side it will do 450 miles to a tank on a long run.

My erstwhile '99 2.0 GLS Auto saloon managed around 25mpg locally.
Cross-country motorway driving was around 33-35 mpg.
Towing our caravan generally, I was down to 22mpg.

This was a well-maintained car and sensibly-driven.

My 3.2 has only ever returned down to about 18MPG on LPG, and that was mostly urban running about.

Between 40-42 mpg combined town and A-road work and 50-52mpg on M/way (Cruise control set at 75mph).

It is a 2.5td Tractor tho !  ;)

Tank after tank, mine does 30mpg.  Rises to 32-33 on a run, but low 20's on a run.  I do have a 35 mile run to work, though, about 50% "A" roads.

If it was a manual, i'd probably be about 35mpg - but i like my lazy auto!

Listening to all the replies I'm surprised that the 2.0 aren't better than they are. I appreciate than an Omega is a heavy car, but the mpg figures quoted justify me owning a 3.0!  ;)  :y
