I was interested/surprise to see that the 3.2 on my drive is showing an average of 31.5 mpg. Ive never had that from any Omega ! must have been a motorway cruiser.

That's unreal average for a 3.2!  I average about 25mpg in my 3.2 auto estate, on mainly back roads and town. On a motorway run, I can get it to average around 32mpg, but thats being very sensible, and staying well away from the cruise control!  :-/

I have reset my mpg today and am taking some of the lead out of my foot

I'm getting 17 around town and never go over 2500 rpm.

Tried everything to get it to do more MPG but no good

The only way to do that trip on Motorways is via the M25 from where you are! & that's a lot further than 60 miles

Not all motorway but the A road is the A34,

M4-A34-M3-M27

Didnt go over 2500rpm got 35+ mpg !

Thats low for a 2ltr and as for 2500 rpm how the hell do you get it to move if you don't go over it (thats coming from a fellow fourpot owner).

Think it needs a really good service or try driving with the handbrake and sports button off

From my 3.0 auto elite I get 35 with cruise control on at 80 on the motorway (very highly maintained though), currently on 18.5 around town. I've got a heavy right foot and love the low down grunt that propels you into small gaps at roundabouts!

Manual mv6 the same on the motorway (no cruise), 26 around town - I give it less stick as it hasn't got a proper gearbox!

48 mpg out of my 2,5 diesel on a very very long journey from penzance to inverness. gawd, thats a hell of a drive.

[Crazycarzowner]

I gettin about 26-27 ish out of my 2.6 miggy, on a daily 46 mile commute. Although it does need a good servicing. I keep putting it off but its gonna have to be done soon. Not much difference with or without cruise control either.
