Title: Ridiculous mpg
Post by: Abiton on 30 August 2011, 13:28:21

The missus just filled up the Omega with 58.1L after a week away on the East Coast. 

Trip meter (which I zeroed myself when filling up the morning we went) read 483 miles.

37.79mpg; 7.47L/100km  (normal Esso unleaded used).

Almost unbelievable.  :o

If it wasn't such a rusty piece of junk I'd think about taking it on myself after my missus gets rid.  ;D
