The newer Holdens of that ilk do come with lpg. But not, I believe, with the touring. Sadly.

Cem, I thought you would have googled.

Get a better standard of fitting here, and better support if you use an euro sourced kit, although the Aussies, for all their faults, actually appreciate the benefits of lpg, unlike some politicians here

I dont care about claims..    if I stop myself I can also drop the miggy consumption down to 35 mpg..
 
but that wont be the everyday figure.. may be only a small gorup of us can drive like that continously

[cem_devecioglu]

a v8 would be very nice to drive but not a realistic daily car
 
may be a weekend car only..

Why? Economy figures on most modern V8's are actually better than the current Omega figures

there is no way a 5 litre engine can consume less than a 3 or 2.5 litre engine.. ( if we exclude hemi)
 
air fuel ratio is fix.. and no one buys a v8 to drive in economy mode..

Both RobseyMV6 and 2woody I'm sure would disagree, as both say they easily get 30mpg from their LSx powered Monaro and Holden...

A larger engine can be more economical if driven gently

.....where as I will get 10-12 mpg continously from those cars   until my wallet becomes empty
 
and you probably single digit figures

and you probably single digit figures

I can do that in the MV6, although it takes some effort to average that for more than a few gallons

Every little helps.

[feeutfo]

Actually... What am I on about.


Who gives a flying f*** what the economy is. I want one. The end.    !

Take it your wallet (or Mrs TB) screams at you

Now that is a sexy car.

You get to a speed, where even foot to the floor, it actually starts returning respectable economy, for a reason I don't really understand...

I think its ugly, not a patch on the Omega. A waste of a nice engine.

Sorry Cem, you're wrong. Easy to get better economy out of a bigger engine... That's why a V6 omega can easily be more economical than a 4 pot

That'll be because you need a bigger engine that'll drink fuel faster.

Only one way to solve this

I'm going to have to get one and run it as a cab. That way you can all find out just how economical it is and also how reliable it is upto 200+k

I quite fancied a late 2012 insignia vxr, from my local vauxhall dealer since they managed to mess up my zafira tourer order

The deal they offered me was almost to good to turn down... But the £815 for the first year car tax killed it for me, no matter how much I liked and frankly wanted it just couldn't justify as it meant another £500 odd quid on purchase price, strangely there was no room for negotiation on this
