Wow, I've never seen a (unchipped/unmapped) v6 be more than 1mpg out.

Press and hold the 2 buttons on the stalk - S and R for 3 secs, and post up the 3 figures. I'll check if your config is right.

And I NEVER expect to get anywhere near manufacturers figures. I simply can't drive like our resident Sky employee.

I think it was Darth Lo-knee who said to me "you drive like a cock"

I'm still driving like a girl  getting better with the omega , but it's a big change from my Carlton
(which returned 30 + MPG  )

Can't seem to get any config data or code by pressing s (on left stalk) and R (on right stalk) for 3 sec. engine on or off (accessory position)
just scrolls through the normal tripe like trip dist 575.7 , consumption 0 =19.6 trip consumption 0= 45.2 speed 0 =22 M/H
so that has changed since i last looked 
maybe i need to read that book in the glove box 
also ,whilst I do not let peasants reside on my back seat ever, i do carry a boot full of tools ,probably the equivalent weight of a couple of fat people , dunno if that makes a difference

Both buttons on right (wiper) stalk, labelled S and R (from memory - mine is NCDC equipped)

22.8mpg average currently on the 3.2, not been reset since last year.

It does run far, far better now it’s my daily commuter and not used just weekly for odd run.

24.0 from my 3.2 with no motorway driving. Im now officially a slower driver than Tunnie. YAY.

I managed 35mpg over last couple of tankfuls (I was actually able to fill it at Tescos yesterday now fuel prices have eased, to calculate the readings).  I'm a bit embarrased that clearly I'm not trying hard enough.


For Opti's benefit, the FC claimed 39mpg

[TheBoy]

Let me look that up, as I'm sat in bath doing nothing else

084 is correct for Y26SE with 225/55/16 tyres and HID headlights.

thanks , no rush
I know i get better than 20 MPG but it may be a GIGO issue as i still not read the manual ,dunno what the buttons do 

084 is correct for Y26SE with 225/55/16 tyres and HID headlights.

yes , tyres are correct ,hid dipped beams 

maybe i need to reset the computer when i fill up
i did have that issue with missfire recently (new plugs and coil pack fitted )
thanks for the help 

[TheBoy]

Yes, reset at next brim, and then check it when you brim again, and compare you manual calculations over same period.

If there is any discrepancy (>1mpg), worthy of investigation, as the GM ones seem to be bang on (assuming maps haven't been fiddled)
