Can anyone give me an average mpg for this engine?
Can anyone give me an average mpg for this engine?
Well the official figures are:
Urban 28.0
Extra Urban 51.4
Combined 39.2
Real world will be nearer to 30 mpg average so i believe
I got between 260 and 310 out of my Astra 1.8vvti, the 260 was punishing it VERY hard one day back from London to Newcaslte
The 1.8 doesn't like hauling the Vectra weight around.
From what people have said, its no better than a 2.2 Direct. And a lot slower.......
If you havent bought one yet, I'd say get a 2.2 or 2.2 Direct (in a nutshell the Direct is quicker and more economical)
I had one on hire for a week and the minimum was about 40mpg
A mix of rural and motorway driving
The engine felt gutless and made the car feel heavy
However, with high revs the performance was acceptable
Visit a dealership and get them to arrange all four engine types of the same model, that's what I did...
They arranged for me to test drive the 2.2, 1.9 CDTI and 3.0 V6 CDTI
Too small to be efficient in the big lump of a vectra, by most accounts on here.... haven't tried it personally. I've also seen 1.8 drivers state that they can't get near that official Vx combined figure of 39mpg. Anyone ?
Obviously not the preferred choice of many people on this forum, but remember some people need to have the smaller engines for insurance reasons.
If I drive very steady I can get appx 30mpg, normal driving returns appx 26mpg, Hard driving 23! Had a trip down the motorway and it gave 41mpg!
I had one as a loancar from VX..then 6 months later, so did mrs GSi..
the first one was terrible..needed revving hard to get anywhere at all and consequently gave around 25ish mpg ( same as my 3.2!!!)..
the one Mrs GSi had while her signum was in was a peach..lot more 'willing' and smoother..gave her around 28ish to the gallon...
I wonder how bad it perform's in the signum with even more weight to car around ?
i've got the the signum
