Title: 2.5 v6 economy
Post by: jackherer on 30 June 2008, 10:07:30

I bought a '98 Omega 2.5 V6 manual estate a couple of months ago as a workhorse. Initially with normal mixed driving I was getting anywhere from 28-35mpg but I regularly drive from Chelmsford, Essex to Ipswich, Suffolk on the A12 in the early hours when I am in no hurry so I started experimenting with driving to save fuel for obvious reasons.

My results have been getting progressively better and last night I managed a new personal best of 46.3mpg which I am very pleased with, high 44s was the best I'd managed up til now.

Unfortunately the sort of driving required to achieve this level of economy is just not possible most of the time, it requires an empty road and a lot of concentration and patience. It goes to show whats possible though. Has anyone else managed economy like this from a 2.5 V6 Omega?

"Hello" and Welcome  :)

Several threads in "General Chat" over time regarding fuel economy, you might find the answer there.

If you have a specific question post in "General Help" or "General Chat" as more folks tend to read those than the welcome area !!
