Was doing some errands today, and decided to fill her up with some of Esso;s finest and go a for a cruise in the country.. 

 

Considering i was crawling behind cyclists for a good while i;d say what i got from that journey wasn't too bad

3.0 V6 

 

anyone else get those figures? 

 

I'm not really a person who likes to get around fast, but i put some decent right foot in 😉

Hi Henry, 

I have had 50.2 mpg on dual carriageways and the M1  [to Sheffield] when there was a 50 mph limit, and 46.7 on the return journey when the standard 70 mph was allowed. My s type is the V6 2.7 diesel.

Your 32 mpg was pretty good for a Petrol car.

Peter.

Mine (2.5 auto) indicates an average of 31mpg.

True or not, I'm actually quite pleased because it's not really costing me much difference to my last car, a Vectra 1.8.

I'm looking forward to a longer trip to see what I can eke it up to.

My only real disappointment with this car so far is an absence of cruise control, which I miss.

Ooo, now that does sound interesting. I'd like a wood wheel anyway, so changing it for one with buttons at the same time sounds like a plan...

...however that's for later - first I need to find out why this car weaves all over the road like a battleship in a gale, and can't decide which direction to point in when the brakes are applied.
