Title: MPG
Post by: omegalyn on 03 May 2008, 00:12:41
Hi all,
First time in this section
I have a 2.0 auto omega and  getting about 150 miles to 30 pounds. Is this about right, I keep it well serviced, oil, air filter etc. nothing binding.
I know that the price of petrol is mad,  is it time to let the mig go or convert to lpg?

Hope all are having a good bank holiday
Lyn

Seems OK ish, when the petrol strike was on a few years ago I got 35mph out of a 2.0l manual, driving properly. :) :) :)

my driving habits have changed in the last 3 weeks.i am not doing my usual short journeys due to changed circumstances,i have been doing less journeys but the ones i have done have been doing have been between 10-60 miles.i have been deliberately driving with brain in economy mode and the result so far is,the mpg has changed from 22.8 (jan-early april )to 29.4  :)
