Hi!
Well,I ask this question fully aware that a 6 pot will use more fuel than the 4.
I wanted to ask the owners here,who have experience of the 2.2 and 3.2 cars,how much difference there is all told.
I do about 300 miles minimum per week.I'm in South Lincolnshire which is flatter than Holland after a firm ironing.
I tend to drive respectfully and only give my cars any sort of throttle once a week.I use A roads and don't get snarled up in any kind of town traffic,in general.
The car feels like a 6 pot car with a 4 pot in her.I bought her expecting good-ish mpg for the size of the car as I'd done my homework.I was stunned to be getting 33 mpg combined and on a run....43 + mpg.
I have only managed to find one piece of information on the web from an owner saying he'd reguarly see 32 mpg from his E320 Coupe.Is this true? As I'd like to have a car which pulls the weight so I give less throttle.Am I kidding myself with this theory? I know many have tried it
Over to you and thanks!
