I took a 1.8 Zafira out for a run and noted the MPG at tickover was just 0.1 MPG - My Meega never uses less than 0.3 and sometimes 0.4 MPG. Is this normal. Pls have a look at yours tmz. [smiley=huh.gif]
-
to be honest i think thats a bit high - not sure my 3.0 uses that much.... ( 0.2 / 0.3) depents on lights, heaters, air con too though....

To make it a controlled test - I turned off heater, air con, heated seats and lights - just sat in the dark with the radio on.
Could this be affected by an air leak?
-
will check mine tomorrow at start up when cold, heaters, air con etc on before the dam school run i have inheritedon week off. Will also check it when i return with everything off.
Will report back findings :y
-
2.2 DTI - From cold everything off
0.2 for a few seconds, then drops to 0.1 at 800 rpm?
whats your tick over speed, I know mines diesel, but maybe the rpm makes a differance
Any help?
-
When ive looked at mine its said 0.4
-
0.3
-
0.4

Tickover when cold anywhere from 800 to 1200 rpm - but once butterfly settles down its 7/800 rpm.
The car knows were watching it though - it now idles at 0.2 after the school run via the M6. :o
-
With everything off (except the engine! ;D) and the car in neutral, mine is 0.2. With the car in drive at rest is hovers between 0.2 and 0.3. With climate on, it is 0.3. On a hot day with climate working hard, it is 0.4. Things like heated seats rear window etc. do not seem to make a difference.
Hope that helps.
-
0.3 when cold this morning - o.3 after run...so it looks like its probably ok after all :y
-
Mine is usually at 0.3 but sometines when warm will flick between 0.2 and 0.3 (presume this indicates (0.25).
-
Hang on... I think I'm missing something. Your cars have an MPG without actually moving? Or do they like move without moving (an Omega that folds space would be awesome IMO).
-
They ahve a gallons per hour reading when not moving.
The 2.5V6 Manual shows:
0.1 in ECO mode (aircon off)
0.2 with aircon on.
The 3.0V6 estate shows:
0.2 in ECO mode and in Neutral
0.3 in ECO mode and in drive with foot on brake
0.4 with aircon on and in drive with foot on brake (only happened once as the aircon is now not working!)

You mean yours doesn't?
-
Shall have to check mine :)
-
3.0 MV6 - 0.2 with ECO On, 0.3 with ECO Off. In drive it tends to flick between stated figure and 0.1 above....
-
Does anyone actually believe these figures from the comp? I am not sure? :-/
So according to the comp a 2.5v6 can idle for 10 hours and only use 1 gallon, a 3.0 can idle for 5 hours and still only use 1 gallon.....seems a bit wishful thinking of the comp tbh :-/

Don't think its going to be that far out... ...I've left mine idling for hours (after I'd fixed crank sensor, just checking it was truely fixed) with no difference on fuel gauge...

Well i was just thinking Jaime.....1 gallon is what you get with a plastic petrol can...not very big if you think about it.....and a v6 running even idling.....my petrol lawnmower uses more than that :-/
-
Your lawnmower is probably doing 2500rpm... ...my omega says way over a gallon per hour a 2500rpm...
If I turn on on a really cold day, I've seen it at 2.7gall/hr :o

Either i should get the lawnmower converted to a V6 then or get it converted it lpg ;D
-
0.2 idling without air con on.0.3 with air con on :y

You mean yours doesn't?
you have to remember can't fold due to the amount of supermops kept in the back.......... :y
-
We are talking about idling in Park or Neutral aren't we, and not in Drive with your foot on the brake?
Or if manual, in Neutral and not in gear with your foot on the clutch?
