Hello & Welcome, I too came to Omegas from a Mazda 626 :y

expect hi 20's to low 30's on that sort of trip with a light foot and light traffic.

The boot release may be technique rather that fault, the button will likely only work with the key OUT the ignition.  If that doesnt work, press and hold for about 5 seconds.

Thanks for the welcome ,the last V6 i had was a 1983 2.3 Granada lx  3 speed auto which sometimes only managed 15 mpg however things have moved on with some of the mpg figures car makers are now quoting , my Mazda is a 2.0 diesel which never does less than 45mpg but it is such a boring drive!! Cannot beat the growl of a V6 or V8 imho.

Hi Tilbo, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
