Ear's another one 3.2 Plenty out there now 

Ah. Green. Thought it was the faster black for a minute. But

[brendan1983]

I might go and have a look at this one actually (seeing as I work in Fareham)

I am finding the 2.2 a little slow sometimes - although on my last long trip I averaged 40.2mpg over 520 miles, something I doubt the 3.2 would do

[chrisgixer]

No it won't. But then as I have lpg and don't concern myself with mpg figures, I'm probably not the best person to advise on economy.

A manual 3.2 estate driven reasonably sensibly will manage 450 miles from a tank at a push, and typically 400 miles...

However, start hammering an auto one and you'll struggle to manage 280 miles from a tank, carefully though you should see 350 miles...

Rog would be worth asking about that as his 3.2 does some decent length journeys

On a good run at a constant, almost legal, motorway cruise a 3.2 auto saloon should just touch 30mpg, be lucky to get much more.  Day to day, low twenties is more realistic, unless you hammer it or do a lot of urban, in which case you're in the teens.

Haven't ypu scrapped it yet?


... What sort of dim witted Ecu can't..... Never mind. Scrap it. You hate the site of the damn thing anyway.

I assume you mean the battlebus, rather than one of the Omegas? If so, not yet, still pondering what to do.

Not sure of the relevance to this thread though

30mpg, if you hypermile, I suppose. On my run up the M1 or A1M, I get 20mpg. Ok, 10% more to compensate for LPG. The 2.2 on the other hand is/was very economical.

But who would want one? Its a poor car compared to Omega in ride and handling

This is going to be a long thread if we post every single "this is going cheap" pile of shite on the web.
