 They're all V6's and so not a lot to choose from them all. Just keep putting the fuel in & try not to worry.

 There have been a number of threads on this very subject mate. 2.5's get better MPG then a 3.0 or 3.2  but it isnt loads, then you have to ask is it a manual or auto? :)

				I have a 2.5 auto and went to Devon on hols last year and averaged 29.3 mpg. that was a combination of motorways there and back and a week of driving along small lanes and B roads. I was pleasantly supprised. :y

				my 2.6 will do 33mpg with a feather foot but normal driving about 25-28 thats a mix of stop start and steady 65. :'(

 Think due to wether and running 15 min to de iceing. I usually get 25 arond town and 36 on the moterway in the warmer weather
- 
				1200 mile run up to Inverness & back and averaged 44mpg in the tractor with a car full of camping equipment.
 
 The Elite barge is averaging 12mpg at the moment although it only gets used twice a week to keep it charged and I'm forever upsetting the TC into coming in ;D

 I travel 3.5 miles to work and 3.5 miles home with occasional detour of 3-4 miles home, average 21/22 mpg; mines a manual 2.2 petrol. On a run does well, mid/high 30's :y
- 
				My 2.2 auto averages 21.8 mpg
			
- 
				On an open road driving carefully I usually reach 38-40 mpg on an manual 2.2.
 In a city it plumets to 23 to 25 mpg  :(
- 
				I'm getting 19.5 mpg (2/3 Motorway - 1/3 Town) from my 3.0 Auto MV6... If I drive like an OAP I can just about get 22 mpg
			
-

 I'd say thats quite bad, only 19.5 mpg with 2/3 mway driving! I hit 35 mpg cruising at 80 in my 3.0 auto
- 
				I get about 18mpg round town and about 35mpg on a run but I don't hang around either :)
 
 P.s 2.0 by the way
- 
				24.8mpg over last 4 months...i do 400 miles motorway at approx 90mph 50 miles commute in london but not rush hour,and between 80-150 miles rural at home every week..
 i think this is good,and is probably down to the fact that dlk rebuilt it as good as new
-

-
