I get about 25.5 in town with a little stretch of "A" road, this can drop to 24 if i'm in heave traffic.  If the roads are clear I can get 27.  Motorway I can clear 33-35mpg, depending upon how I drive!!

These days I tend to take it easy as I dunna want any points and i want to keep my insurance down, although the noise the V6 makes when booted sounds soooo sweeet it makes it ery hard to take it easy...  ;D

I would have liked to compare the MPG from my 2.0 to my MV6, although my 2.0 was on LPG so the big difference in price was from moving back to petrol.  I get the feeling that the V6 does drink slightly more juice though.

Is it worth installing cruise to improve mpg at all?  I would have thought the smoother to journey, the better the mpg...?

Mine does the same small chore each day but gives me 26 mpg - but it only goes up to 31 at 70 mph on cruise.

Mine does about 32 on a motorway run at sensible speeds. Currently averaging about 27 mpg overall. Mostly A roads and a bit of urban driving.

If I go loopy I don't look at the numbers. I suspect they'd be too depressing!

my old 2.5 cdx had cruise, it was about 2mg worse when on cruise, cos cruise never coasts its always on a little, where as on a long down hill u can lift off leaving it in gear and use no fuel what so ever. its fun watching the intant mpg go to 999.99 mpg would be nice if it stayed like, i didnt meantion before but on a run mine get around 30/31 mpg at motorway speed +10 or 15 mph

Mine averages about 24 to 25mpg (which was about the same as my '94 Carlton 2.0i 8v) which is a mix of open road and town driving (MID currently displays 25.1mpg).

The last 'run' averaged only 30mpg which I thought was a bit disappointing.

Mine is a 2.2i Auto by the way, recently serviced and has covered only 29k! :) :)
