that is very good for a 3 litre,well done fella :y
Thank you very much but its so hard to keep to 75 even with cruise on cos the car is just asking to go faster and it sounds so good when you give it some. I am yet to work out what exhaust is on my car but it does sounds nice. Might ask markey mark to have a look as he is down this way at the weekend. ;)

My MV6 - just under 25mpg average, TD auto, MID reckons 37ish average.

The TD in particular shoots right up on motorways.

I'd absolutely agree with you there mate, in fact I think just about all omegas excel on the motorway. The petrols in particular seem to be poor around town. It goes without saying you'd get better economy with a manual box.

2.2DTi 130,000
average (around town) 42mpg
Motorway 48-50mpg
Towing 30-35mpg

Hi round town and short journeys to shops and back 20.5mpg
On motorway taking it easy 60mph  38mpg.
As previously said you cannot expect a big car with good mpg.
I got mine for sheer luxury and to fit all the camping gear in for weekends away.
Cheers  :)

My 2.5TD shows 33.4mpg as an average over about 2000 miles - mixed roads. Round town it gets about 20mpg. Cruising at 40-50mph is the best, can get around 40mpg if your careful. Motorway at 70-80 isn't bad probably about 35ish.

If you shift down and floor it, you'll be doing 7mpg no worries  :(

If you're interested in fuel consumption figures or any other general Omega performance data have a look at this spreadsheet. It is updated by members on OOF.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=phH9jJ7FuSBeEt5Enh48DSg&hl=en_GB

For some reason, the 'management' don't consider it worthy of inclusion in any sections so that it can be accessed readily by all members.  :-/
