My previous V6's averaged around 23.ish around town. After a week or so of sensible ish driving im averaging 19mpg. I don't have any running issues and I will have a service done in the next month. If a service doesn't improve things is there anything else I should be looking for.

My 3.2 is doing about 19 around town and I had 30 mpg at 70 mph on a 800 mile trip to Scotland last week, I had just done a service and the intake breathers before I went. :o

Were your previous V6's the DBW ones, or the more economical 2.5/3.0?

Mine always dips in winter.

Yeah last one was 2.6 and prior to that was the 2.5.

Fuel consumption and driving an omega are not words that go together. ;D
The way fuel prices are coming down, just fill her up :)

I'm surprised any Omega owner looks at mpg, I know they're rubbish at it, but love the cars! :y

Yep I can push around 27 mpg from a 3.2 Manual in and out of London, does drop a tad if I use it on LPG though. ::)

Mine is a 2.2 and all i ever get round town is 19.2. So i would say your doing well. :y

New stat :-\
Got 43 mpg on a run , cant complain at that from the superior engine :) Town driving will hammer the mpg

Check multi Rams are working. Check cam timing with a cam gauge from a locking kit. Make sure exhaust isn't blocked. General servicing as you say.
.....other than that, Lift and coast.
