3.0 MV6 - 0.2 with ECO On, 0.3 with ECO Off.  In drive it tends to flick between stated figure and 0.1 above....

Does anyone actually believe these figures from the comp? I am not sure?  :-/
So according to the comp a 2.5v6 can idle for 10 hours and only use 1 gallon, a 3.0 can idle for 5 hours and still only use 1 gallon.....seems a bit wishful thinking of the comp tbh  :-/

Don't think its going to be that far out...   ...I've left mine idling for hours (after I'd fixed crank sensor, just checking it was truely fixed) with no difference on fuel gauge...

Well i was just thinking Jaime.....1 gallon is what you get with a plastic petrol can...not very big if you think about it.....and a v6 running even idling.....my petrol lawnmower uses more than that  :-/

Your lawnmower is probably doing 2500rpm...   ...my omega says way over a gallon per hour a 2500rpm...

If I turn on on a really cold day, I've seen it at 2.7gall/hr  :o

an Omega that folds space would be awesome IMO.
You mean yours doesn't?

We are talking about idling in Park or Neutral aren't we, and not in Drive with your foot on the brake?

Or if manual, in Neutral and not in gear with your foot on the clutch?
