For questions on the cars in forsale section, reply to that thread 

Omega MPG varies a great deal, combination of type of run, manual, auto, or the huge range of engines.

If your looking to keep economy, you will need to go for the later 2.2 DTi's or late 2.5 BMW TD's

Think the 2.2 DTI's get about 45mpg on average.

Other option is V6 + LPG

sent him a pm ...

id be looking for a 2.2 DTI i know the engines quite well now with servicing my own 2.0 DTI

45mpg isnt bad i expected worse

I get high 30's round town - had 97,000 trouble free miles but things starting to play up recently.  Just change oil and filter regularly and should be ok

Mine and Markseth's, (both manual-boxed '99 2.5TDs), return 33mpg around here.
We're content with this, given the cars' mass and the terrain.

Due to lowish annual mileages, and a lot of shortish hops, they get engine oil/filter-changes every 2500 miles.
