I once saw 35mpg on my Omega. That was on an early Sunday morning drive, fairly empty motorways meant I could maintain 70 (-ish  ::))mph without the need to keep accelerating to move lanes etc. Towing = sub 20mpg  :(

It was quite a short trip with a lot of heavy traffic, be interesting to see what it does on the round trip to France at the end of July.
