Hi Carl, and welcome to the forum!

In answer to your question, you're not got to find an Omega that can complete on mpg AND performance with your Calibra I'm afraid.  The Omega is a much heavier car, so you can't have both.

A 2.5/2.6 Omega should give comparable performance to your Calibra, but will be more thirsty.

If you're looking for economy, the 2.2 dti is good, but under powered, and the 2.5TD with it's BMW diesel provides better grunt but at the expense of some mpg.

Probably the best all round Omega these days is a late model 3.2 V6 petrol with an LPG converstion - truely the best of both worlds!  :y

Hi Carl, 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.
