Hi

my wife has the hatchback version. Just checked this weekend- went from Northampton to New Mills, High Peak. Mixture of motorway and 'A' roads and got 32mpg which I am hppay with. We stuck to speed limits but didn't go below them! On a trip, get about 52, so its ecomonical.

Hi Jon,

I own a Vectra 2.2 DTI estate

Fuel consumption

Local solo av 46 mpg.

Towing a bailey pageant Imperial 1181 kg av 36 mpg.

We normally have the air con for the dog when we are towing,

The only grouse I havewith the Vectre is the sidewindows,you need special extended mirrors( vecta Only)to fit them, apart from that The vectra tows like a dream.

Towing mirrors - I was told the Vauxhall ones are the only ones that fit as they are streamlined and are expensive - around
