30 MPG around to town........
« on: 04 May 2010, 21:58:37 »

Don't know how to link this, but here is the description... :D :D

112,000 miles, Vauxhall Omega CDX 2. 6 V6, (Ecotec Engine) 4 Door Saloon, Full Service History, Silver, Petrol, Automatic with Sport, Economy and Winter modes, Heated front seats, Alarm, Front head restraints, Rear headrests, Electric door mirrors, Electric Windows and Sunroof. Front and rear armrests. Full Leather Interior, onboard computer, Cruise Control, Multifunction steering wheel. This car benefits from a full service history, and is in very good condition. Not to be confused with the high mileage cloth interior versions, this really is a stunning and extremely well equipped car. Great on long drives and giving around 30 mpg around town. Taxed till 31/08/10 and MOT till 4/6/10. Not to be missed. £1,795 ONO.

Wouldnt believe it Vamps, ours averages 26 to and from work 9 miles away

30 sounds a bit optimistic

I'd be lucky to get 30mpg on a long run in my 2.6 :(

30mpg in town my arse!

Our old 2.5 was in tip top tune, and the best I ever saw from that was 22mpg in town (had to be driven like you were deceased though).

However 30mpg on a run is quite believable.

2.6 could be 2001?

That's an average of about 12 and a bit thousand a year, which I'd say is a moderate mileage on most cars (and fairly insignificant on an Omega).  I do 30,000+ miles a year in one car and less than 5,000 in the other.

I agree, 112,000 miles isn't even half the engine life expectancy.
