Mpg.... ??
« on: 15 April 2009, 18:27:14 »
Just wondered what everyone was getting out of their wheels??
I took my car for a drive after fitting the cam cover gaskets and given it a good clean, did just under 100miles, and managed to get 37.1 mpg....
But, i was driving as if i was on my driving test...
Is that good for a mv6 estate??

If you got 37 odd mpg that is good in either a 2.5 or 3.0 :y

No point in having a V6 and driving like granny. Give it some and be happy with 25-28.
