    Hi
    I have a Vectra 2.2 CD - I assume the same engine.
    Not renowned for pussy-footing around -
    - on a hot engine from refill to home 6 miles or so at a shopping trip pace
    (not exceeding 50 mph) I return 44.5 mpg.
    - start from cold the next morning a little late for work (12 miles) and
    with a little "enthusiasm" and cuing in the local jams to get through a port
    town with the characteristic "one bridge option" sends it to about 25/26
    mpg..
    - long motorway journey after a "hot engine refuel" pulling motorway
    speeds - around 34/36 mpg.
    Quite obviously it is a larger body and I assume a heavier car, but yours, I
    would have thought was a "sportier" engine, so fuel consumption - about the
    same (?).
    I hope that helps a little.
    Regards
    RobO

  3. Let me add - that the 2.2 engine in an Astra SRi is not identical to the
    Vectras 2.2.

    However, fuel economy would be in a similar vein, ]

    It all depends on how heavy your right foot is.
