Was just looking at a 2.5 v6 really nice just woundered what mpg I should expect?

I drive a fair few miles and dont want to be cained on the ol' petrol.

Was going to buy a tdci 130ps but not sure......

I know I'll get like 40mpg from the tdci just not sure what I'll get from the v6

I get around 300 to 350 miles from a tank. Drive very easy and you can scrape 400 miles from a tank.

I've got a mk2 ST24 (same running gear).

I haven't worked out exactly what the mpg is but on a run it's not too bad I did alot of motorway driving the other month and I got about 350 to a tank , which considering the way I drive isn't bad! Around town though they can be quite juicy.

problem is my drive to work is very urban lol its all a roads and not a straight run.

I want the v6 but I need to be sensible lol

driving normally i used to get 28-29mpg....best i could get was an average of 42mph driving 100miles, but that was watching the mpg meter VERY carefully and rolling down any hill no matter how steep

Around town driving normally it's going to be in the low 20s. If you want to get better mpg then drive like a granny, but that defeats the purpose of getting a V6!

I got shot of my V6 Mk2 as the performance didn't justify the mpg. My TDCi is quicker (not 0-60, but in the real world) and is twice as frugal.

Oh, and the in-car mpg meters are always optimistic, so an indicated 30 is nearer to 25!

i run a 2.5 v6 cougar, same as mondy engine,iget around the doors...........23 mpg!!! yet on motor way driving, it shoots up to 34. i dont cain it,but love the burble,when it does get the odd thrash!!!!

if getting a mk3 check the tax price.

BLACKCOS

I was getting 30-35 mpg out my st24 which has the same engine .yet the other half the way she drove she was only getting around 30mpg. Not sure if the mk3 is heaver

Fiddy

I had one mate, i got around 20MPG, my MK2 V6 i get about 22MPG

Fiddy

MK3 is heavier

DHMC

Yeah its abit shit - I'm thinking about getting a golf lighter and only a 1.6

Gonna check what it does mpg wise

Fiddy

All ill say mate, if your concerened about MPG, dont buy a V6 mondy

DHMC

yeah the golf does 44mpg

So is Ł70 worth about 7 gallons?

I'm being thick but what to find out how much I will be spending currently spending 60 quid a week - doing 300 miles a week

Fiddy

i filled mine up on tuesday, ive done 170 miles, and its on half a tank
