I managed 26 mpg coming home from work in the new 2.6, my 3.0 never managed more than 17 mpg on the same route  Is this the norm for a 2.6, of so it may be a keeper

Sorry Andy, I turned left out of my work, then a right , straight on for a bit........

bit of town traffic and some steady 40 mph cruising

At the minute my avg is 29 mpg. I do a fair bit of town driving, short journeys and normally I would have about at least one 50 mile run on good rds a week. I do like to use the loud pedal when I can and on a good A road I normally sit about 70-80, motorways 80-90.

17mpg sounds a little on the low side even for a 3.0. The only time mine has gone to that kind of mpg is when SWMBO has driven it for any kind of time .... she uses the throttle as an ON/OFF switch hence she can reduce the mpg to eyewateringly low consumption. The 26mpg of the 2.6 seems more realistic

....
motorways 80-90.

That's how I got my SP50

I would average 21-25 in my 2.6 mv6.

Corrected the mistake there

Ours does about 25-26mpg, mixed driving

[tunnie]

2.6/3.2's generally considered to be less effiencent than 2.5/3.0.

Sounds like something was wrong with with your 3.0!

I can easily average 26mpg over tank in my 3.2, mixed 90mph cruise and some town work

I did a repeatable motorway test in my 2.6 V6 last year have a look here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=108869.msg1362683#msg1362683
