The most i have got from our 2.2 auto estate is 34mpg on a long run the least around town is 15 that was due to roadworks causing delays , normally average 19, tbh the 2.6 V6 manual is better never below 30 on a run, & 19 on town work.

Around the mid 20s in the 2.2i Auto on average days but have had it below 10mpg on occasions. my old 2.5 V6 was cheaper to run but that was several years ago when petrol was cheaper... But have found mine slightly cheaper to run since I put 17" Elite alloys on mine granted its slightly slower on acceleration but better mpg as Tesco says "Every Little Help's" ;)

Manual or auto?

My 2.2 (manual) would average 34mpg over course of a tank when on petrol, mid to high 20's around town.

On LPG I manage to average 27mpg on LPG, my 3.2 V6, also does 27mpg  ;D

Should add that LPG gives me an effective 55mpg+

With last tank, think it was near 60mpg, as LPG was below half the cost of petrol. (64p litre rather than 139p)

replacing that filter and re-clamping the breather hoses seems to have solved my fuel consumption problem.... i'm getting a consistent 25mpg around town. cheers to TB and Martin42 for their help. and all the others that chipped in with help!  :y

Good service, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, throttle body & breather clean. Petrol 4 pots love fresh oil too.
