Maybe I need to shorten my right leg, or put a brick under the pedal so I can't get it as far down.. ;D

I've got a clean licence too  ;D ;D

Trouble is, I don't get much more then 25 mpg out of town / motorway  ;D ;D

I did Skegness back to Hull in 1 hour 9 minutes last month  ;D
Thats with 3 adults, all our caravaning gear on the back seat and a big german shepperd in the boot  ;D
Swmbo was not amused  ::) ;D ;D

I checked the trip computer when I got home - over the last 333 gallons of fuel (according to it), I've averaged 23.8mpg - most of my driving is urban/extra urban (cross country run to work on fairly congested country roads) with a monthly ~120 mile motorway trip.

Not too bad, I suppose.

Tunnie, you clearly are not trying hard enough.  TBE has returned 15mpg on the last 3 tankfuls, I'll let you know about the 4th tankful tomorrow, as that needs filling. I'm expecting 15mpg from that as well ::)

Getting just around 20 mpg around town with my 2.2 cdx estate on the computer.  :o

Dont do what I did. Reset mpg reading when expecting to be doing under 5m per day for a week ... 16mpg  :'( :'(

Sooooo glad I am on LPG  8)

Hope you knew what you were getting into when you bought one of these. Not a town car, cruiser (and for towing).

Same hear :o

sort of, i've only been driving six years, had a tigra, a vectra and now the mig, its been a pig to own, bonnet's up to often for my liking, no heater and cylinder head gasket blown twice in 18 months of ownership :( but its a nice car to drive, until an amber lights on the dash

as i think most will testify on here, when shit goes wrong, it all goes wrong. you hate the bloody thing and wonderd why you'd bought a crap car with stupidly bad fuel consumption........................

then...........................

it all comes together and omega ownership is a joy. imo  :y

Sounds like 65miles until the light comes on, so more like 90 miles for £20. I get between 100 and 130 miles from £30 (£135.9 pl) in my 3.2, and that's mostly stop/start short journeys. Can get from Horsham to Gatwick and back with the light on (26 miles round trip using M23) ::) :-X

Just to add, managed to make £40 do 185 miles today. :y
