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 ;)

I'm thicker skinned than that ;D

I would question the sanity of running an Omega at 15mpg though :-\

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👀💀

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 🙌
