I avoid braking at all costs

You don't own a Passat, and demolished a lovely Rover back in February?

[TheBoy]

So I make that just under 15p mile? If I get 30mpg average on petrol in 3.2, with a working exhaust & actually connected to back box I think is possible. Thats 19.5p a mile, got 29mpg with my usual runs few tanks ago.

Really cuts into V6 LPG pay back

You'd probably achieve a lot more than I ever could would want to

But with your driving you'd get better lpg economy too

The savings still work out to about 9-10p per mile however you look at it as several of us have proven over time

I was always watching the consumption on the Omega,since I've had the V8 I no longer wish to know

Same since I got the Jeep, partly cos I don't know how to set up the computer and in American Gallons anyway......   As it happens £ wise I put in similar to the 2.2, the 2.6 is so much better on fuel and that is with swmbo driving...

The solution is to buy a 3.2 V6 Special!
Being poverty spec it doesn't have a trip and MPG computer, so I can drive around in bliss ignorance.
I will eventually get a real life MPG figure for it, but the 3.2 manual does infact seem marginally better than my 2.6 manual.
Something else interesting, well to me anyway  is its co2 emissions.
2.6 manual saloon emits 257g/km
3.2 manual saloon emits 258g/km
3.2 auto saloon emits 284g/km
So, as we can see...it's saving the planet

All well and good but where would you buy a 3.2 V6 Special?  I will go and have a little look on ebay....

Currently watching the closing bidding of a car with a real engine, a V8.....

I've got x2 of them 
Actually, have a look in the for sale section, Damon80 has a very nice looking one 
Or, for ultimate economy, there was a special edition, it was the 'Flintstones' version, top speed is as much as 5mph

Silly question.. This is Josh. No such thing as "not for sale".

  I'll give you the best P/X deal possible Kevin - You know a nice 3.2 manual would fit nicely next to your Westfield 
Actually, neither of the 3.2's are for sale. The white one I intend to keep for a long time, the black one for a year or so.

Clique again, you did not offer me a good px price.....

That's because I don't like Jeeps   
Actually the WK is a good drive, never driven a WJ, but they're a lot of car.
I could never work out the US v UK functions on the WK, you could have celsius instead of farenheit, but then you'd be stuck with the odometer in KM/s rather than miles. Although I did hear there was a dealer only programme that could set it up however you wanted.

I did everything wrong when buying this car, I did not even drive it before purchase, from a well respected company though...
I was taken aback by it's handling, but having got used to it it is fine, and I love it, always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.   Mercedes engine and gearbox anyway. Going in for a full service, autobox and diffs, all oils, filters etc in a couple of weeks as this is a keeper.... You can't compare it to the Mig as they are very different cars / drives.
I am happy for the computer to read the outside temperature and leave it at that.....

Best ever LPG MPG ever today, despite it being a short fill. This car normally manages 17-18mpg, today 21.86 .  And it was only 70.9p, despite being a motorway services

How did you manage that? I get 17 - 18 mpg, but I seem to get the same even if I drive like Tunnie.

I'm guessing it included a decent long run
