just back from isle of wight. 750 mile round trip,used £130 fuel :'(. computer said average of 33.4 mpg,was driving around 80-90mph and average on comp said 66.1mph. Seems a hell of a lot of fuel. is it? :-/
-
just over 26mpg by my calculations
£130 = approx 130litres, 130x0.22 = 28.6gallons
750/28.6= 26.2mpg :(
about right for tanking it around
i avg 20mpg on short trips - maybe 30mpg on longer runs
-
I reckon thats about right or even better for a 2.5 at that speed (touching 80 / 90) :y

Agreed :y Sounds about right
I roughly get 35ish on the motorway with my little 4 ::)
-
recon thats not bad for a 2.5 when your doin 70-80 mph :y

Thats crap, were you towing anything.
I used to get 38 at 65 and about 32 at 70-80

Where in the Isle of Wight were you able to do those sorts of speeds? :D :D
-
I can do a run from Swansea to Stanstead on a tank of petrol (on a clearish run) and still have a bit spare which works out about 450 miles full load up empty coming back :y
-
:-/ ...So a couple of you guys say thats pretty good and couple more seem to think not so good. Still,she ran well,smooth as silk,very comfortable and after a 6 hour drive i wasnt tired or crippled.
Last year i drove down in my VW Passat 1.9TDi ,V reg. The fuel consumption was unbelievable,there and back for £80 so thats why i was asking if my Omega was being a greedy girl. Allowing for the fact it was a deisel, with a smaller engine and fuel prices were slightly lower i thought that was superb.

Its when you creep over 80/85, mpg plummets.
I can manage 34mpg over a long distance at a constant 80. This begins to nosedive to mid/high 20s at 90, then looking around 20mpg much faster than that (3.0l auto).

Confused me a bit there Mark. I was doing 80-90 most of way and getting 33.4mpg,is it me or does that sound better consumption,for a higher speed,than you get at 32 for 70-80?

That will be because if you really did use all of the fuel that £130 got you to do 750 miles, your actual mpg was 25.71, not what your trip computer said!

I do a 17km run to work now and get 8km/l. Quite pleased with that considering I was getting 5km/l on a 7km trip.
