Just wondered what the highest range your Omega's trip computer has told you, you have?
Travelling back from France, (and clearly driving like a Nun) I filled up with Petrol and my range got as high as 538 miles!! Wish i actually could get that out of a tank!!
-
Never filled my tank up.....so dunno on that one......but did shove £20 in on Friday as comp kept whinging of only 25 miles to go......it changed to 100miles afterwards :o £20 get you 75 miles :o .....but as i mostly run on lpg that might be upsetting it :-/
-
had 520 odd in the 2.2 after covering 60 miles :D
Generally see 500+ come up after filling up and doing the run to uni...

I did a student fill last week to get home in the 2.2 as picking dad up from airport, timed it so they filled it up for me :D
£10 got me 92 miles

doing short school runs in the frost just now - and averging 15mpg - usually only stick £20 in at a time - and that gives a range of about 100 - 110 :o

Well, I put £25 in my new project car yesterday. Got 182 miles and still have £24 left!
Mind you, it spend 176 miles of that on the back of a recovery truck! ;D
Still, its the thought that counts. Or so I thought. Does that count? :-?
-
The most I have ever seen on mine was the round figure of 500 miles, and that was at a motorway services following a long and docile journey. This was never repeated however. The worst I've seen was 280 following slow city driving. It will usually show 350-450 miles, depending on where it was driven before the fill-up. It's a 2.6 auto.

Had over 500m on my 3.0l MV6 a couple of times...

I reckon you knackered it on purpose to save on petrol ;D ;)

I used to do that trick when i lived at home......well sorta.....used to ask my dad to borrow his car.....he always said ok.....so i used his petrol instead of mine :y ;D

Mine went to 520 once - never been bettered. The closest that I have come to that figure since was 490.

I have a GLS... :-/

None of you even come close......
.....
I had a 2.5 V6 Omega CDX AUTO, and sod the fuel computer, I filled it to the top, and drove it until it cut out.
Mileage?
601.
Nearly all motorway, at 52mph.
No joke.

As long as it's in the inside lane, and faster moving traffic can pass, then yes ;D

That means you would be undertaking AA, as he drives at 45mph in middle lane....

Just refuelled the beastie.
'Max range' is now 197 miles.
Cost a few quid, but it was an interesting day out....
;D
