I'll be quite honest & say that if i was buying another Mig, i would go for 3.2V6 with LPG & bite the bullet over the VED. For how many miles i drive (which come the end of dec will be around 5000). I'd still have the good return & have warp speed to boot

I've only ever had 38mpg out of a V6 on a long run, but I agree it is do-able..

You must drive slower than Mother tunnie!

If you aint got the mpg with a the 2 in the front, your not driving it right!

What sort of speed to achieve 38 mpg.

Best I managed was 24 mpg in my GLS but no computer to help keep an eye on consumption. :-/

He is doing a lot of significant motorway runs to work and back at the moment...

That is taking it easy

I managed 10mpg around town today - bad traffic

[Richie London]

i got this in april i think it was, that was doing about 55mph down the motorway,  

[cem_devecioglu]

for me 38 mpg in city traffic is only possible with a 4 pot clit,  

sometimes even worse as I do short runs and hammer it..

with miggy the best average was 26-27 mpg in city..

but of course on highway travels I catch those figures..

[Kevin Wood]

I think the petrol to LPG gap is a little bigger than that. 22MPG on gas is commuting territory, which won't give you 28 on petrol, IME. Also, whilst I can get gas at 51.9 here, it can be had from motorway services for 52.9 and the cheapest petrol here is 93.9.

My fuel costs are now lower than for my 1.8 8v manual petrol mk1 Laguna back in 2006. I have an extra 2 cylinders, an extra 117 BHP, RWD and an auto gearbox. 8-)

A saving of £20 per 500 miles. So, if a conversion at a garage costs £1500, you can make it back in 37500 miles. :-?

I don't disbelieve you but don't know how. I drove back from Guy's last weekend & saw 32.odd, and that's cos I reset it on the motorway. The weather was lousy & so was only doing around 65/70 till I got to the M62. As soon as I started driving at 75/80 the mpg went down towards 30. It's rapidly on the downhill now (27.something) that it's used around town ... occasionally.
You've either a magic wand or a very very light right foot.

I find the higher insurance for a 3L the annoying part.
