Best I've ever managed from my 3.2 is 31.5mpg driving from Lake District to Devon at a steady 75-80.
Shell fuelsaver petrol seems to improve the mpg by 2-3 mpg.

My readout usually shows an average of around 24mpg running on LPG (probably not that accurate).
Went to welsh wales last December and averaged approx. 31mpg (on LPG) which I thought was superb.
Omegas are pretty economical cars for their size if used for motorway work,but how many of us spend most of our time on motorways ?

MID reading or old school method?

Best I've got was 28mpg over course of 390 miles on a tank of LPG, doing old school way of filling, zero trip, filling. But with LPG pumps that not exactly accurate either!

My 2.6 auto managed 32 MPG on a recent 400 mile round trip from Lincolnshire to Wales

I did a couple of brim to brim checks when I first got my car & it wasn't too far off the mark.  :y

Its quite accurate running on petrol, but LPG its just guessing, and is quite often a long way off.
