Makes it even better ;) ;D

I can't remember the last time I saw higher than 24 on the CID... Possibly when we went to France in September although the 2 Omega's in convoy probably weren't that economical when faced with some annoying idiots in Porsche's who can't keep a constant speed :-X ::)

I don't think it will get much better unless I reset the trip computer and start afresh  ::) , I'm happy with that for now though as it's 3 Mpg better than what I used to get which can only be due to the motorway journeys I now do.

Still looking for that elusive 2.6 Elite Manual which would just about be covered by the mileage payments from work when I go out on a trip until I got it gassed.

Just gas that one and save yourself the purchase and running costs of another car ;) You know it makes sense ;)

Maybe. I would still prefer not to stack a load of miles on the 3.2 though. running another LPG car would probably work out the same / cheaper than the DTi did and I have more parts stacked up in the shed than I could ever use on one car.  ::)
