Thought it might be a good idea if we all post up our real cars average MPG along with the in town/motorway and driving style, transmission type. engine size and if it's a petrol or diesel.

When my car is on the road I will post mine.

I can tell you my 2.6 (4 up) did 23mpg when i went from Ipswich to Brighton for the football,stuck around 70 with small amount of town work

[tunnie]

2.2 (manual) on LPG, get an average of 24-26mpg over a tank. Mixed motorway/town work, which is not too bad a 0.69p a litre  (Petrol it used to average 32ish)

3.2 (auto), gets a fairly solid 27mpg, not matter what it does. When I really started to like my 3.2 was 4 up with a very full boot, on a weekend to Bath and back, with lots of twisties, lots of over taking (4 up) still did 27mpg 

[tunnie]

Oh and the bike averages 51mpg, on it's commute to London 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Aye I'd say 27MPG avarage in the 3.2 Auto as well.. Also seems to do that little bit more with Shell V Power Nitro.. Reached over 30mpg with mixed driving few weeks back, Sure it gets a few more miles out the tank too and runs smoother

2.6 auto, just go to work on country roads, 10 miles per day, and the average when I reset it is 22.7 

[Toledodude1973]

3.2 seem to better the 2.6's by a reasonable distance

22mpg. Not bad that for its size.

Its broadly agreeded the 2.6s are same on fuel as 3.2. But there is a massive performance difference.

23mpg on a long run is poor though. At a constant cruise should see close to 30. As I've seen 30+ out of the 3.2 on a 70mph cruise

[TheBoy]

I could only dream of 27mpg from a 3.2 auto. I once got 30mpg from Cardiff to Oxford, but it was mostly 22ish on average. That was on petrol. LPG is 17-19mpg.

I know tunnie is Miss Daisy, I think Mr Omegaman has just confirmed what I suspected when he said never got GY F1s to let go

3.0 litre auto Elite used mainly on short runs of 3 to 4 miles showing at present 21.0 average.Last year on a run to Aldershot and back in same day computer was reset at start of journey and when we landed back home was showing 34.8.

[DrAndyB]

I averaged 35mpg on way back the other week from Bolton having had my Geometry set up and. 4 new boots . Cruise control at 69mph.  I have mini facelift 2.5 V6 manual.

[78bex]

2003 2.2 auto petrol.  On a 8 mile daily crawl commute, consistently returns 22 mpg over the week with Shell standard unleaded petrol & air/con on. Puter tells me my average speed is 16 mph

[cem_devecioglu]

when auto it was around 24, now with manual 27.5-28..  engine 2.5 , 3.0 cams and ecu (that consumption is not for a traffic jam apparently)

[tigers_gonads]

On lpg, i've never bettered 24 mpg
Around town, I normally get around 17 mpg (again on lpg)
Once had 26 mpg on petrol.

Now saving my pennies for a driver involvement pack (manual conversion)
