What is your Omega consuming?
« on: 23 February 2014, 20:36:55 »
Just out of interest I have been wondering what other Omega's consume petrol wise. After lots of tinkering and much hard work  my 2.2 cd auto (petrol) consumes 0.2 gal/hour with the engine up to normal operating temperature  :y It used to consume 0.3 gal/hour until I temporarily bonded the splits in the coil pack tubes!

So what I'm after is what your instant consumption is at idle on an engine that is to temperature and what engine you are running. I'm intrigued to see if there are any better than mine and if so by how much  :)

Over past few weeks, mixed roads / driving style.. Average MPG on the Elite 26.3mpg and 10 gallons used over 350 odd miles. Sorry I don't keep an eye on instant consumption its toooo scary   :D ;D ;D

My 2.6 V6 now drops to 0.2g/ph. once warmed up with air con off, was at 0.3 before the breathers got cleaned out, idles much smoother now too.

Lol  :D I know what you mean about cash consuming mine was bought for £200 and after I have added up everything we spent to get her to the point we are at now I think the total is around £1000 including original purchase! to top it off I'm still not happy with how she is and more work is needed but my wallet needs a bit of a break  :( still got the hbv to replace and both front wheel bearings, exhaust needs every joint repairing and all the rubbers and the screenwash jets are blocked! Still I love the car so much I will spend on parts until everything is fixed ... then it's time to start where I began all over again  ;D

Ouch.

Currently running a 530D (E39) which gives 40mpg on a run (cruise set at 80mph and tested using the brim fill method), haven't got a clue what it does around town and don't really care given what fuel is costing me at the moment.

your lower on the round town than you should be, I return average 22 mpg round town but don't yet know the on a run figure as I haven't dared go on the motorway yet until I know it's reliable ... However the "book" says 19 mpg's round town so you are about right for that, I believe it's around 38 mpg's on the motorway with a light foot and autotrader says average 28 mpg's
