I find that the motorway mileage has never been a problem, as soon as i leave the Motorway, and start driving through the city that is when i find that my Omega drinks like an Irishman on a binge

i got 30mpg on a 15 mile run to the scrappy in the 3.0 Auto... the 2.2's are better on fuel, but only by a small amount!  :o

Hmmm, I wonder what I would get out of your Estate ::)


Took MV6 for a blast after you left to check the coolant leak.  Oh boy, thats fun  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif].  My brand new brakes with nice new fluid went a bit soft ::)

Lots of steam from under bonnet when I parked up, so I guess I'm still searching for a leak  >:(

When I picked my omega up, I drove 220 miles home (90% motorway)

Average MPG was 34.6 I think (deffo 34.x anyway)

That was driving at the speed limit most of the time, however I will have lost a bit of fuel by heavy acceleration too the speed limits etc.  ;D

I made a BIG mistake the other day... I reset the display when I was stuck in city centre! I forgot to check the display, so dont know what the MPG was then(prob GPM almost!), however when I went across town in the morning I remembered to check just before I got out of the car - 12.x mpg  :'(

Nope, never.  I prefer average over many tankfuls.

Well I never zero mine but it doesn't seem to go up loads, the range seems to go up alot especially on the motorway sitting at 85
