Hi all hope u had a great xmas.......  Does anyone know a way of making a 3.2 auto saloon run a bit better . ?   20 mpg isnt good  im thinking of getting rid as costing too much to run..

[Dan282]

LPG it? 20-22 round town is about right.

Lpg has got to be the way. I know you're not going to be getting corsa diesel mpg equivalent but it'd surely be similar to a 1.6 astra with all the joy of the v6.

If you've got a car with a few years life left then I reckon its better to spend 1200quid on it than a good few k's more on some modern box.

1 use the loud pedal less..

i get 22-24mpg from mine 16-19mpg around town and 30+ on a good motorway run.

its the joys of owning a gas guzzler,just keep filling it up and stay happy.

As BG says, also if anyone wants  economy don,t get a big car, but, the Mig is worth every penny.

3.2 is nowhere near as economical as 3.0, yet about the same power

I'll dig out my stats from mine when it was purely on petrol. Although I don't have the stats documented, I know my 3.0l auto used to manage approx 23-25mpg day to day.

[blackviper90210]

Over the last 2000 miles mixed driving I'm averaging 26.6mpg with my 3.2. 

[zirk]

Get a 3.0 Manual (or Auto if you prefer) then chip it, use to get min 27+ from my old 3.0 Manual MV6, after chipping it and around 33 to 38 on a run. if your happy with the results then LPG it.

I once got 30mpg on a constant motorway cruise from Swansea to Oxford.

20's poor, my 3.0 would do around 28-30 daily - she was a manual elite though.

(if your selling let me know btw)

I'm very disappointed to read these figs. for 3.2 & 3.0 ltrs . My 2.6 driven carefully on a round trip of 18 miles to work on open roads is returning 23ish 

[danzigfan]

Then I should really buy a V6, couse I'm getting 23mpg out of a 4-pot lump....

[2boxerdogs]

My V6 averages 30 mpg on my daily commute of 54 miles (2.6 manual) on a good run 34mpg & around town 22mpg. The 2.2 estate will (auto) do around 34 mpg if driven carefully on a run ,around town the lowest I have seen is 17mpg.

[Toledodude1973]

As said the pleasure of driving a Miggy does come at a cost ----bu worth it in my opinion

Thats why i always go for the 3.0
