Hi guys, just wondered what kind of MPG you all get from your 3.0's, more importantly the manual ones? No point going bby book figures as they do not reflect the real world, just wondered if you guys could let me know what you get from what style of driving?
cheers

my 3.0 estate manual -

Driving nicely, (but not like a granny) on a run, would easily see 33mpg

Hoofing it, I would see about 24mpg.

On an auto, these drop to about 27-29mpg and 21mpg respectively.

[Doodley]

i get 23mpg around town and about 38 on motorway run, i calculated it manually yesterday& checked with the computers average, 1mpg out! not bad!

thats a 3.0 auto elite saloon though
, and i do have a heavy right boot every now and then!

with my boot being heavy most the time, goes down to 8-10 mpg

Ive just got 3.0 elite auto. On a 220 mile trip home (90% motorway at about 65-75mph all the way) my average was 35.6 mpg. That included a few little blasts every now and then.

However, driving from one side of York to the other at 9:00 in the morning i see 15-16mpg

MV6 Estate Manual - on runs out outside London 30 to 34 MPG. In London's traffic 25 to 30 MPG.

Did a test over the last 3 months using the Trip Milege and Gals used and it averaged 27.5 (mainly in Town). Not had a chance to comfirm with the Petrol reciepts and actual Speedo miles, but wouldn't have thought it will be that much different.

Real heavy foot foot over a weekend 23 MPG, best its everdone was when I had some time to kill on a Motorway once, cruised it at 55 MPH for the journey (about 70 miles) and got 42 MPG, but soon got bored with that, so that was a one off.

What I love about these 3.0 Manuals is once you get 30 MPH, 5th gear no problems assuming your in one of those slow moods.

I have a 3.0 manual which only returns about 21-22 around town and about 28-30 on a run but its not running to well at the moment

my new mv6 manual 3.0 gives 37 on motorway and tanking it about 20 around town not to sure yet! its got 110k but had an engine rebuild at 97k as the waterpump failed

Unless your doing motorway miles I don't think yours is much different than mine... I am getting 21.9 now while I am doing school runs and just bobbin about..

[Jimbob]

3.0 Auto estate here, average about 22-23 day to day
if i am very careful on a run, 30 is acheivable
I am heavy footed  

[Paul M]

25-26 average over the last 6 months or so. Fair bit of motorway driving, but it gets a bit of stick elsewhere.

[SP_3.2]

I have a 3.2 and  on a good run at 65 will get 32-34 and around town 27 about.This is with a light right  foot. The best i have had was 44mpg BUT soon when down when i hit the town.  

Hope that helps.    

[Nextgen]

I get 31-33 mpg on a long run (motorway/ clear "A" road),
But - in Stockport, crawling to work I get about 17-19.
Then again, the traffic is nothing short of bleeding awful.

my boss as an x reg 1.8 zafira, he is always moaning about how crap on mpg it is, i thought it would be good! why so bad? just size and weight? i was shocked!

[Ross]

Iv got a 2.5 DT and that averages about 33 to 36mpg. If I put my foot down it goes down to 7mpg, if I am driving around town it will do 23 to 26mpg. RUBISH! I though diesels are good on fuel?
