2.0 turbo
Hi all
Just upgraded my 20006 1.8vvti to a 2006 33,000 mile 2.0 turbo. Any way wifey and I went for a drive today and on 110 mile jurney on mixed roads the car averaged 36.8 mpg. This was a mix of average driving and what a car it turned out to be. Nice and smooth at low revs but when you do put you foot down the acceleration is fantastic. I was just wandering what mpg other members get from their cars.

On a long run i get about 32-36mpg with mine
Averaged about 30Mpg for 40k miles
sounds good to me mate
Yeah
It felt good and as I only paid £4700 for the car it makes it feel even better

that's cause power is everything.
Don't forget, that engine is performing with one hand tied behind its back. It has 175 BHP, but 200+ is actually what it should produce - Vauxhall used the lower power version to make sure it didn't steal sales from the more expensive 3.2 V6. Get it remapped to 210-220 and you'll love it even more.Originally Posted by nicademus

Driving around town etc. i average about 23/24 mpg.
Going to Billing yesterday on M6/M1 motorways, sat at about 68 mph in 6th on cruise, display was showing 41.5 mpg.
BSR stage 1 and K&N are my only power mods.
Have consideration for the deaf, if you're gunna fart, make it smell !
That is seriously good Fil
Nick, that is an excellent price for the car, not so great for us owners thoughand as the guys have mentioned, a remap makes the car even better
We drove down to Dover for a shopping/sight seeing trip in northern France and it hit 45.3 mpg.That is seriously good Fil
BUT, i was driving like a Volvo owner, only doing 60 mph on the motorway on the way down !
