They're all V6's and so not a lot to choose from them all. Just keep putting the fuel in & try not to worry.

There have been a number of threads on this very subject mate. 2.5's get better MPG then a 3.0 or 3.2  but it isnt loads, then you have to ask is it a manual or auto? :)

I have a 2.5 auto and went to Devon on hols last year and averaged 29.3 mpg. that was a combination of motorways there and back and a week of driving along small lanes and B roads. I was pleasantly supprised. :y
