I found I didn't need to floor it, it was responsive enough.

My point being, even if you did, it wouldn't be much more responsive

[tunnie]

Had it a month now, went for a decent run last week, and really enjoyed it.

Best part, I got 450 miles out of £74 worth of diesel, lots of mixed types of driving and traffic conditions.

Miggy would have given me about 230/240 miles of the same sort of driving.

Seating is very comfortable, lots of power from the engine, very solid and positive on the road.

Lovin' it, no regrets at all in getting rid of the Miggy I'm afraid.

Yeah that would swing it for me 

Is that lots of town work? Should see 550 easy from a tank?

Even I can get 700 from a tank on one of those

Yeah, but that was a very long thrash that. In similar conditions, I think 500 would be possible from my tank of LPG

I'm sure someone like you could get well over 800, 850 even, on a similar run, as you wouldn't be arsing around (as much as you can in a diesel Insignia) with R8s, Lambos, Ferraris, kitcars, and all the other exotic stuff on the way to Le Mans.  And thats before we consider that the other car in our party was the Insignia owner's Morgan.

The owner did say, when he got the car back, how much quicker it seemed to go after I'd had it for a fortnight

Why am I not surprised?

Thats because he thinks the throttle just has two settings, "On" & "Off"

Yes, I expect to see 550+ on a decent run.

I'm measuring it on similar sort of motoring to my Omega at the minute.

When I go on a decent long run, I will reset it to see what I can get.

If you carnt get the fuel computer to say 70+mpg , i'd be suprised!

I took an old battered 05 plate Skoda Superb 1.9dti with 240,000 miles on it for a drive the other week and managed to get the fuel computer to say 71mpg at 55mph

Must have changed the seats since I drove one.

That old VAG non common rail 1.9 was a really economical engine. Doubt the modern ones can match it for MPG

I find them quite hard, yet not tiring on long runs.

Even Mrs AA couldn't fault the seating, and there's very few seats in cars that she can't find fault with.
