I decided to upload this for the world to see...

Maybe I should upload my XJ one. That's as honest as a cheap watch ;D
But 20+ mpg at LPG prices is more manageable than 24mpg at petrol prices, even current low petrol prices ;)
-
Soz, that came over harsh :-[. Typing one handed whilst scoffing a pastie ;D
-
I'm thicker skinned than that ;D
I would question the sanity of running an Omega at 15mpg though :-\
-
My Omega does 23 to 24 and i'm fatter than you DG ,and the Omega must be more weight than your Merc also not including the dead hookers i carry in my boot ::)

Mines a 3.2 mv6 auto estate, I think it’s worth the 15 mpg (and I’m not hanging about mind👍) besides many have questioned my sanity... me being one of them 👍😭. Good job it’s not a prerequisite of omega ownership as I’ve become quite attached to The hungry bast..d👀💀

The Saab, which I replaced the 3.2 with, does 25-27mpg, cost the same road tax,and is smaller, :o :o

A few years ago I got 29mpg fetching a starlet glanza turbo home On an A frame to Wales from Lincolnshire with my 24v manual carton witch had 250,000 miles on. I loved that car😟😟 but it rusted away🔥. Although the Evo does just 6 mpg on track so my judgement is clouded a little with the Omega I guess 🙌

Having been in it, I'm not surprised! ;D

Yeh I thought we were going to take off for a little flight over Tylorstown! ;D

1,770 kgs so about 100kgs heavier, but then it does have more bits than the Omega :D

I have managed 30mpg from the 3.2 on petrol, but it needs to long run, one motorway, keeping it mostly below 100mph. So I can full accept people can get decent mpg from them, as it seems most people drive like Miss Daisy. 30mpg on petrol from the 3.0l auto was trivially easy.
I can also accept that people with an X351 style XJ diesel can get 50mpg easily, and almost 60mpg going by the Jag's ridiculously optimistic fuel computer. I tend to get around 32mpg over a tank in mine.
I suspect my MPG from a NA Merc V8 from 30 years ago, sadly from a time when MB had already turfed out their designers, would be around the 10 - 12mpg mark. I'd expect better from a more modern V8, but still averaging sub 20mpg from a tank. Hence I have avoided getting an M5 or an XFR.
-
An M5 in budget is nothing more than an expensive garden ornament, which is a shame as they had all the makings of being decent sports saloons :-\

New link for my vid ;)

My almost 3 Tonne, 4.4 V8 Range Rover (BMW M62 Engine) does 15mpg on gas, on a run, and 11-12mpg on gas mixed.
At 52p a litre near me, I'm quite happy with that... it's cheaper to run (or at least, the same) as the Omega running on petrol...... :y :y
-
I think a new set of lpg injectors and a calibration would help my car as they have done over 100.000 miles.

They are serviceable items, that said, they're cheap enough to replace/upgrade :y
-
They’re landi renzo over £50 each :(
-
Ouch :o Just looked, and rrp is knocking on £90 each...
I know LPG is half the price of petrol and that mpg is lower than petrol by some margin, but 15mpg is into Solex carb fed 2.8 Cologne V6 driving a 3 speed slushbox territory... Which prompts the question of whether it's correctly set up :-\
-
Its been a long time since LPG was half the price of petrol. ;)
-
Not down my way.. 55p a litre :y. It’s probably the way I drive it as it runs very well indeed after James reanimated her ;D and it’s pretty hilly where I live. Its around 17/18 on a run so not the end of the world :y that would equate to about 24mpg on petrol and I doubt I’ll ever get more than that.

Where do you get your LPG in the Valleys Rae?

New road garage Gelli, my mate owns it :y

I know it, and used to go there with the Omega if I needed gas while I was there. Otherwise I always filled up at ASDA Cardiff Gate on the way in and out. :y

On gas???
The Saab, which I replaced the 3.2 with, does 25-27mpg, cost the same road tax,and is smaller, :o :o
I only use petrol... Anything else to power a car is wrong. Just ask The Lord of Lincolnshire :)

I don't know... Ethanol has its place... ;D
