3.2 economy
« on: 02 August 2008, 13:53:43 »
I've never owned one, but I might soon!

What is the economy likely to be on a 3.2 manual under following conditions

1) Ragging it locally
2) Careful motorway run
3) Not so careful motorway run!

Cheers in advance :y

3.2 Omega and economy tend not to be found in the same sentence James unless there is a negative or expletive (or both) between the words! ;)

Let me put it this way, I think the Monaro gives similar MPG....

Can't tell you Manual figures but Auto saloon something like

1) Ragging it local roads - 22
2) Careful motorway run - 32
3) Not so careful motorway run - 28

Would add that I have averaged 39 on a 60 mile motorway run at 65mph with no traffic (early hours of the morning) and that despite the low mpg in town driving it generally doesn't need ragging much at any time as all legal speed limits are effortless even high speed overtaking manouvres

1) 21
2) 33 to 36
3) 29

Both the power and noise are so addictive that I wouldn't expect you to get the mpgs that are stated above for the early weeks of ownership...  ;D ;D ;D ;D

how the hell you manage those figures?! when i had my 3litre elite i was happy if i got over 20 around town! usually 16-18!! on a run again i was happy to get over 30! albeit it was auto but i cant believe that took so much extra. flip me dan you must have a feather for a right foot!

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!
