I purchased my 2.5 v6 saloon just over a year ago (90k) , no service history to speak of, but had a recent receipt for plugs and full timing belt change (phew).
On a long run (london to Portsmouth - 90 miles) I was averaging 34 mpg max. Once in Jersey (hence the Portsmouth trip) the average mpg went slowly down - but then they have a 40 mph limit across the whole isle of Jersey and this Auto is meant for motorway cruising.
At home i'm averaging about 19 mpg, doing 2 mile trips to Tesco's, and back etc. plus the odd journey out on the m25 for a 50 mile blast.
My old Austin Maestro (1.6 ltr auto - and auto choke) would average less, about 18 mpg for Tesco trips. But once on the motorway and up and down the dales of yorkshire i got 35 mpg out of it.
All said and done, its how you use the right ankle (or wrist in case of my bike).
I have been experimenting with the bike - using acetone as a fuel additive, (loads of stuff on here and the web about this i guess) but i did find that it made the bike run slightly smoother (and FJ1200 can vibe loads) and I think i got better mpg - but that is all very subjective. But it has not caused any problems using it.
I wont yet use acetone in the Omega, cos the engine management system is so complex.
My bike is a straight four, carb's and simple air cooled. Omega is a different proposition.
