    TBH I couldn't cruise at 65mph on a motorway as I die of boredom I set mine at 80mph.I doubt the extra 15mph would knock off 300 miles per tank though.My car is an Auto 170bhp remapped to 205bhp.It is more economical now than it was at 170bhp,only slightly but it is.
    Image a 5 lane highway, almost empty because it's Sunday. And then be forced to do 63 mph because that's the speed limit.

    That's the current situation in the Netherlands, between 7:00 and 19:00 the limit on all motorways is 100 km/h due to NOx pollution.

    A few weeks back I drove to Disneyland Paris and refused to drive through it as that would mean almost 4 hours of 100km/h... I too would die from boredom. And I'm not really a fast driver.

    • 1.8L VVT SRI petrol

      Getting 40-45mpg cruising at 65mph.

      But this is after flushing fuel system out with redex which made a huge difference. Economy was much worse and car sluggish before the treatment.

      The car is now running better than it was at purchase! Pulls better through the rev range than I thought it was capable of. A real revelation. Must have been quite gunked up from years of bog standard supermarket unleaded by me and perhaps the previous owners as well. I suspect the fuel injectors had some build up because after running half a tank with Redex through, a flat spot at 4000rpm has gone completely.

      I'm now a fuel additive convert and will be running on Shell V Power for the forseable future!

      For anyone running a 1.8 petrol there's more info on my thread here where I've been doing some tests:

      • 4 years on still getting 43.6 - 45.6 mpg
        Over 40k on trip 2 and it's 43.6.
        Nox 2 sensor not working and now starting to tell, was at 45.3 mpg other day,.did a regeneration dropped to 44.9 mpg which is about normal. But since then it's dropping constantly and now at 43.7 mpg.

The B has 8 liter smaller tank. So I think 850 miles with a manual would be possible with an A, but hard to achieve with an B. To be honest I was a bit disappointed I could get less miles with my B then with my A.
          I have had over 750 with my 170,. but usually between 640 and 700

            When mines had a bad NOx sensor it was drinking AdBlue as if it was diesel. Range dropped from 1300 km to 900 km in about 10 km of actual driving. Then stabilized a bit, but had it replaced soon after starting to complain.

              • My commute this morning. Mostly motorway with a bit of 50 mph zones. 2.0 cdti
                the car has pretty much spent it's life on the motorway. It's serviced every 8k. Tyres are at 40 psi and the car is remapped to 195. I do use a pedal box also however I'm sure this is detrimental to mpg.

                  Ridiculous.
                  There is a stretch on the M1 between Junc 32 and 34( over Tinsley Viaduct) that always displays '60mph for air quality' totally pointless.I set the cruise at 65mpg as it's a smart motorway with average speed cameras but most just fly on through as usual.I fail to see how reducing the speed by 10mph on a 3 or 4 mile section on the M1 will make a difference.
                  It's not even consistent as southbound the limit starts at J34 as you gor over the Viaduct and Northbound it stops as you go over the viaduct so traffic in both directions are going different speedsthead

                  • May not be what some of you want to hear but yesterday we went to Northumberland from Lincolnshire, about 190 miles. Granted the weather was very warm, the roads were dry and the traffic was free flowing for virtually all the journey. It was along the M180/M18/M62 and the A1 up to Alnwick.
                    I did up to 80mph when possible, sometimes with the air con on.
                    Then the return journey, another 190 miles.
                    A quite brilliant return of 72 mpg set on trip B for the 380 miles.
                    This in a 2014 2L diesel insignia estate with about 165000 miles on the clock.
                    I did put a small bottle of diesel redex in the tank before setting off so I'd like to think it may have helped.
                    You can imagine my delight at this, is it normal for this car/age/type?
                    When I first bought the car nearly 4 years ago I reset trip A to zero and haven't touched it since, just to see what the overall mpg return would be down its lifetime. It is currently on 66.3 mpg average after about 35000 miles.

                    • 1.8 petrol SRi, pre face lift 2013. Doing anything between 30 - 40 mpg mixed city/motorway. Still filling up with E10 bog standard fuel. Power is weak uphill, but I believe it is just this engines weak torque. I know it could be a bit better, might try the redex plus shell v power at next fill up, according to others it helps.

                      My question is this, how many updates has the 1.8 petrol had during its time in the Insignia? If you look at the claimed average from Vauxhall, eary cars (2009 - 2011) say 37 mpg, later 2012 to 2013 cars say 39 mpg, and the updated late 2013/14 Insignia claims 40 mpg average from the 1.8 petrol. There must be changes to this engine over time as the tax got slightly cheaper with each update as well...

                      I'm also interested to hear about anyones experience with the 1.4 turbo petrol, I almost bought one before considering this car, but it was a couple of grand dearer on the used market and I couldn't see any massive savings to justify buying it over the 1.8, the 1.4 seems to be a rare engine in this car, and claims to have slightly better performance and economy than the 1.8 but I'm guess its marginal if even those people with the newer Insignia B 1.5 petrol are saying that engine barely does 40 mpg...
