Petrol? Not a lot, unless yours is blowing.

His 2.2 Vectra will be more responsive to your 2.2 Omega. Aside from the Vectra being a much lighter car, the 2 engines are completely different.

If anything, fuel consumption will be slightly worse, though not as noticible as diesels which use huge amounts of egr.
