heading to loch lommond in the morning for a few days with the family and was wondering what sort of mileage i should expect from the car (2.5V6 Auto) and how much to fill it ?

also was is the cd player not want to play cd's which are originals ? dont think the car likes my tase in cd's

[Jimbob]

all the best, very hard to say, so much down to your driving, maybe mid to high 20's.

i'd fill the tank, not as if you wont use it.

the cd players in these dont last for ever, the laser is probably shot, from age, and maybe playing recorded cd's in the past.  maybe time for a new one, or a spare from a breaker.

yeah was going to - was going to bang the cruise on at about 55 and cruise all the way not in a rush.

will have a look at our local breakers yard


cheers

According the manual, the fuel tank holds 75 litres, although ive never gotten more than 60 or so in, even with the fuel light blinking.

I would agree with Jimbob, mid to high 20s is very achievable if you are steady in your driving.

At 55  ( :-?) you should be able see 30 mpg, I have from my 3.0 whilst going 'slighty' faster. Be sure that you're going fast enough to get into 4th 

[Charlies Dad]

do you know at what speed it goes into fourth ?


thanks for the tips ... fingers crossed all goes well

Mate if your cruising up at 55 on cruise I would expect 33-35mpg from ours so urs shouldnt be much short of that, overall high 20s low 30s including off motorway driving........

From empty about £70-£75 to fill in the real world

How empty is empty for you? My MID said 20 miles left to empty and i couldnt get more than 61 litres in, even with topping off. You paying about £1 a litre like i do?

Cheers!

Reset when you were on the motorway? Average soon tails off when you're on A/B roads.

reset when i left site in park royal, had a few miles on north circular then M1 all the way upto jct 35A then over the tops. to be fair had a nice clear ish run. just a bit of traffic around watford gap services. plus plenty of road works on M1
