My 2.5 auto did 38mpg on a run, my 2.5 manual only about 30...

[zippo]

so whats the average mpg for a v6 aound town then

Fortunately I don't go "around town" too much - and I certainly don't look at the MID when I do

It all depends how you drive it, to an even greater extent with urban driving. If you give it a good squirt whenever you pull away it'll certainly be sub-20. Driven carefully you might better 20 MPG, I'd say. As mentined, this is when autos are a bit more thirsty, but they are a lot less aggro in traffic so worth it IMHO.

The silky smooth V6 has a MUCH better all round MPG than the rough old 4 pot, in my opinion  

Sorry mate
