As a general average, 24 mpg from my 3.0 Auto (saloon).

18.8mpg but I only do 3-5 miles a day so it doesn't really get off choke.  On a run I've had 38mpg with careful driving. I should add my car is regularly serviced (every 2k ). So yours isn't that far off to me.

I try not to look at it TBH The trouble with LPG is that you don't really worry about the running costs so much

MID on the 3.0 Auto Saloon shows 26.something over 360 ish miles of mixed motorway and fast roads with a little town driving. This is the petrol consumption (not LPG) and used to be spot on when I checked it on brim to brim fills

My 3.0l auto estate does about 31mpg on the motorway without any pretence of driving economically. Generally it averages about 26. Which makes it more economical than the 525 manual estate I used to have; that never managed more than 27, and averaged 24 over the four years I owned it.

Incidentally, correcting the cam timing on my car(all 4 were a tooth out) not only made it drive better, but improved the enonomy by 2mpg!

3.0 litre elite auto 18 round town, 35 on the motorway sat at 80
3.0 litre mv6 manual 25-26 round town, 35 on motorway sat at 80

My 3.0 MV6 auto is currently averaging just over 29mpg that's a mix of 75/25 motorway/town.

Pure motorway is 34-35 which i think is very good for a 3.0 auto. My old ex-plod manual MV6 used to return around 19-20mpg, but I did drive it like I stole it! My driving is more leisurely nowadays  8-)

bout 18 was what i average... all local driving

Looking at these figures the V6 is not much worse than the 2.2 4pot....   I average 25 - 27 mpg on the computer, mostly around town, 12 mile each way commute rarely over 60.....Strangely I used 'sport' the week before last and got nearly 28..figure that....

the words "sport" and "2.2" don't sound right together
