Not relevant to original question as not same engine,
But I manage about 43MPG on mixed run 48MPG pure Motorway and around 26MPG around town max. It is of Course a Diesel Tourer with Auto Box and Remap and Synergy etc. Around 500 Miles + on a full Tank Brim to Brim method, ignore the Computer. Also I don't always drive slowly before people respond with comments! |

My only comment would be that this is a petrol head thread.

Sticking to the limits... getting from Newbury to Redcar and back on a tank of Tesco regular.
Oh, with a 90k miles old 2.5 V6 ;-)

My 1800cc Connesseur (non turbo) is returning average 34 MPG which i am particular pleased with.
I drive it careful around 65mph, mostly dual track and motorway at night wityh little traffic. This includes tesco trips and towns on a weekend crawling, so its a true average. I Got 380 miles before the Orange light came on and i put 50 litres in exact to the cap. Many people mock the 1.8 as underpowered, but i chose it purely for maintenence costs as there no way i could afford a v6 cambelt change! Usually 90% of the time im in it on me own, so i find the 1.8cc quite adequate on the motorways cruising nicely at 75 mph no probs at all. I dare say you would needthe 2.5 v6 if you had 4 or 5 adults in her climbing hills etc, but i would reccommend the 1.8 as a poor mans 75 no problem at all. |
