£10, about 1.5 gallons, is probably not far off for 100% urban use in this weather, esp if auto.

Unfortunately one of the 'joys' of Omega ownership :-X

Blimey! :o I get about 40 miles of city driving out of £10 in my 3.2 auto estate!

Just goes to show how much more efficient the later models are!

Or it could just be that I drive slower than my grandad! ;D

:-X :-X ::) ;D

She'll change her tune when I get the GSI on the road! ;D

My missus always used to nag me about driving too fast. Since the birth of our daughter, she keeps having to remind me that I can do more than 40 in a 60 limit! ::)
What kind of GSi is it mate?
Oh, and Albs... Button it! >:(

Didnt say a word. >:( ::)

That's good going!
I think my 2.5 MFL was more efficient than the current Elite, but that could also be manual vs auto issue too.

Carlton GSI 24V
Plus I'm building a 12v GSI engine for my other Carlton - Lots of fun coming! ;D

I alwasy found that the 2.6/3.2 were not so efficient as the 2.5/3.0

75 miles from £10 in London on the 3.2 Manual, mind you that is on that Gas stuff!, if on Petrol about 42 miles, still not as good as the 3.0 Manual though.
-
200 miles from the last £50... Incidently, £1.29 at the Shell between Havant and Chichester (A27 east bound), if any one happens to be down that way :y

Nope, they are signifiacntly worse...

Indeed... Must be because they are full of more superior toys :-X ::)
To the OP... Doesn't sound far off to me. Running mine on petrol I wouldn't get much more than 28 miles from £10 on a combination of town and fast A roads :o :o

I've been getting about 65 miles to £10 from mine but then it is one of those nasty 4 pot oil burners :y

Found mine starts after two glow plug attempts and a bit of a grumble for a few seconds (was an indicated -7.5 this morning). Strangely the Mrs' DTi struggles after four goes with the glowplugs and lots of turning over... and it had new glowplugs a a couple of years ago!

urm another fuel consumption thread regarding a V6, do peeps think they will be getting 40mpg or something,if they want economy buy a micra, otherwise just fill it up when the gauge is low.
