I think mine's averaging about 23-24 mpg. I've been keeping an rough eye on fuel lately and find I'm getting about 225-250 miles to a tank around town and about 100 more motorway driving. (That's cruising @ 95 or so. I dare say it'd be even more per tank at 60! ;) )

About 26-27 urban driving and up to about 31-32 on a long motorway run if not flooring it. Around 23 when having fun. ;)

3.0 V6 - 14mpg

Reason - foot is constantly nailed to the floor to make it move - as the gearbox is in limp mode ;D ;D

Absolutely agree, 2.0's are disgusting on fuel and should be avioded like the plague when there is a perfectly good V6 ;)

Hmmm, 27.5mpg average in chipped manaul MV6 and 26.2mpg average in auto elite.

Both 3.0, MV6 is driven more "enthusiastically" though... ;)

2.2's are better than the 2.0's cause they have slightly more torque...

My 2.2 averages 31/32 over the whole tank, 35+ on a motorway run (80ish) & 30/31 ish (90+ private runway)

Around down 27/8 ish...

As much as I like the Senator it only averages 26 mpg, so the 2.2 will be staying after the Summer.
