At over 70 MPG for the diesel version in urban conditions is not bad
They did a test to see how many miles they could get driven sensibly a few years ago with one and it returned 103 MPG :shock:


My gas converted Vectra and Pug 406 return the equivelent of this! My dad has a renault megane diesel that returns 70 mpg as well.


Ah but you had to use a gallon of both to do that :wink:


I don't think so.

One of our 'non-local' drivers has an Astra on dual fuel. Seems to serve him OK.

I ran a Mondeo conversion for 180k miles and was very pleased with the experience. The only reason I'm back on diesel at the moment is because I couldn't find the right car quickly enough when changing time came.

from my understanding these jokers are not licencsed by oxford city council, rather west or south oxfordshire.

the point is if they were licensed by oxford city council they would be required to have four doors and would definetley not be licensed.

however oxford city council has shown its usual disregard for the other drivers and has given this person carte blanche
