VXR Owners: How much mpg do you get from your Vectra VXR 280?

[hothatch]

Seen a nice VXR for sale, low milage, good price, but i believe owning a VXR its quite expensive to run, will cost about £1000 on insurance and £400 road tax a year, and how much will it cost on fuel a week?

sits around 25-26mpg around town but at 50-70mph does over 40mpg , i'am getting 300miles per tank around town.. you wont regret it mate if you were nearer i'd tell you to come have a go

7 mpg - on track / having fun
18/23 mpg - town
28 mpg - motorway
40 mpg - motorway (56mph)

I typically get around 320 miles per full tank of fuel before I need to fill up at around £60 'ish quid

I regularly drive at 56 mph on the motorway Try going any faster !! M6 ROADWORKS

Anyways, you've got to go 56 mph before changing into 2nd gear

Yeah I've seen remapped 2.0 Turbo fuel figures and was surprised as in some instances they were LESS than I was getting in the VXR
