Hummm how can i put it ... ermm yeh your 4 pot is shagged  

Seriously though something is a miss there, I can blast back from Birmingham Airport, with 3 people in the 2.2 with a full boot cruising at 85/90mph all the way back and it will easy get 35+ to the gallon. I reset the mpg when i left home to pick dad up, 75/80 there 85/90 back, averaged 36. something.......

Mind you yours does have a slush box

Tunnie, I expect yours doesn't do much town driving - thats the killer...

[tunnie]

true, and its a manual which helps.

Over the whole tank it tends to average 31/32, I do some town runs, like here the run to Tesco.

But majority of you miles are motorway cruising.  On my France trips, I average 32/33, including all the short trips whilst down there....

[Craig_R]

my 45MPG was a 70 mile an hour 40 mile run,

I guess ill be doing the low 30's on average now which is better than the mid 20s which i was getting with my knacked lambda sensor.

cant remember what VX say the car should be in the manual for a 2.0L
