My Omega won't start :(

[JamesV6CDX]

I just wanted to pop out (I'm at work).. got in the car, it fired up, and then cut clean out.

When I crank it, it's just coughing.. there is a spark.. but it won't run. Happened  all of a sudden.

I can't check much at the mo, because A it's dark, and B I'm meant to be working.

I was hoping nobody would ask. 70 litres of the crap is in the tank.

Bugger!!  

From the news it sounds like the bad batch was a week or so ago, could that account for the crap MPG?

I dunno, but I don't care what anyone says, 20mpg driving carefully aint enough...

Agreed.  Hope you get it sorted James.. You're working late aren't you?!

[JamesV6CDX]

I agree 20 is ridiculous in a 2L.

Does it feel like its running ok?

[JamesV6CDX]

Absolutely fine.....

[ians]

Is it 2L or 2.5?  Your thingy (on the left says 2.5)

Either way 20 is very low unless you have lead shoes

2.0 at the moment mate, automatic.

Even driving with a feather foot... 22mpg...

Have you done your own test on this James?  I mean could the computer be lying?

Absoultely.. all figures are based on my own calculations.....

[ClarCE]

It almost seems too coincidental that suddenly tesco's are pumping out dodgy fuel, you're getting shabby MPG and now its quit on you altogether... I sincerely hope its not that mate!
