    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.

    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...
