Hi all,

Just wondered what MPG you guys  and gals are getting on your Omega's.

I'm after a diesel but there seems to be a severe lack of them so was wondering what MPG to expect on the 2.0, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 litre petrols. Saying that even what MPG on any of your diesels so I can compare purchase costs against running costs.

Around town MPG would be best but motorway MPG's would also be welcomed.

Thanks in advance

Hiya

2.5 V Plate, 62,000 miles the best MPG I saw on a run was 34 MPG doing 65/75 MPH

Arround the village where I live I would say 18/20 MPG

My last car allthough not an Omega was a 2.0 Diplomat Carton. Same route/distance on a run I got 42/44 MPG and arround the village 20/24 MPG. (Diplomat had the fuel computer which helped, certainly miss it on the Omega)

Both cars are auto's

it very much depends on what type of journeys you do and your driving style.i do mostly short journeys in my 2.5 and get about 23mpg. if you were doing a mixture of varying types of roads including some motorway driving i would guess at around high 20s for a 2.5.

I have a 3.2 and around town its about 24-25 and on a good moterway run can get 32-34 the best that i have had was about 40mpg with a very light right foot.All depends on how they are driven.

hope that it of help. Also if the car is well looked after and service this will have a big effect on mpg.

I only get 16MPG, but I never use motorways

  Me too.....but driving like and angel; 65 mph on cruise-control (clear motorway)!

My 3.0 V6 i get about 25 to 30 MPG but i went for a play over exmoor a week or so ago and i did about 170 miles in a very nice afternoon and that cost me £55 but it was the best £55 i have spent in a long time.

My diesel will do 36MPG town and 45MPG on a run at about 75MPH.

MPG single numbers

[albitz]

several oof members have petrol cars with lpg conversions ,which would give performance and economical running costs.it could be worth looking for one of those,or if your mechanically minded you could convert a car after purchasing.

MPG single numbers

  OMG!.....if that were the same for me I`d be facing a 'food or drive' dilemma  

[Dirk]

I am getting about 30MPG with my 2.0
I need to clean my idle control valve still, would this have any effect on the petrol consumption or is this is to nothing?

[paul52cdx]

Hi my 2.2 diesel estate gets 35/37 around town, best Iv had on motorway was a 47 but 42 is more like it sitting around 75mph

[Darth Loo-knee]

[Iainv6]

My MPG on the MID hasn't been reset for the last 5000 miles or so, and it says 24.8. I mainly do motorway with a medium to heavy foot.
