Obviously I realise how it's driven, but I'm suggesting "normal" driving, I.e: not flat to the floor or driving like a hooligan!

Sensibly driven on a mixture of different road types, 25 mpg shouldnt be far out. ;)

town : 22-25 (depending on seasonal temperature- road traffic) and not driving like a granny..

motorway: 28-36 (depending on avg speed-road inclination)

Mid 20,s as an average. Mid 30,s only achievable on purely motorway journeys. ;)

I would absolutely concur with all the above.

V6 ...2.5, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.2...

All pretty much the same on average.

Both my 2.5 and now, the 3.0 return VERY close to 25MPG avaerage on a combination of town and dual carriageways.

You'd be VERY hard pressed to better it or worsen that with normal driving.

As well known, it's getting them moving which costs the fuel ! ;) :y

Cheers for that folks! I'm going for it, she's to be MOT'd by the current owner before I get her.

hope you bagthe prize sunshine  :y :y :y

i agreewith everything said.

my 2.5 v6 will do between 19 and 23 town driving. however if you do alot of mway miles it will pay dividends. 39 mpg is the best ive ever got on a long blast but average on a long run would be35  :y :y :y :y
