  • 2019 Insignia Elite Nav 1.5 Petrol

    Just picked up my new Insignia (my 3rd one).
    Switched from a 2.0 Diesel, to a 1.5 Petrol Turbo...I hear you have to run the petrol cars in before they start giving fuel efficiency is that correct?
    At the moment my economy is really bad

    Yes, it will take a while to 'loosen up' and give decent fuel economy. On my 1.5T it took about 1000 miles.

      Thanks john_k_sri...I'm on about 300 miles...does the type of fuel you put in make a difference? Currently using Shell...heard Tesco momentum is better for this type of engine

        I use Shell standard unleaded too. Standard unleaded is all you need really in a standard-tuned turbo petrol. Tesco 99-RON Momentum and other Super Unleadeds do their thing best on remapped turbo petrols, such as on my old Vectra C 2.0T mapped up to 220bhp from 173bhp.

          Thanks john_k_sri just getting used to the shock of changing from diesel to petrol. In 10 days have put in £75 and only done 270 miles mainly urban some motorway...hopefully things will settle on a couple of weeks

                  Looks very nice from the outside, from far has an Audi A7 look to it, feels more prestige than it really it. Inside is very much watered down not as many buttons, everything seems to be touchscreen. I got the 165ps model pick up is really good not tested on motorway yet

                        Yep the 165 is pretty quick for a 1.5T. Mine flew up a hill in 6th, which I never managed in 5th in a 1.8 petrol. Stands to reason really as it's only 10 bhp and 11 ft/lb torque down on my old Vectra 2.0T. Brilliant on a motorway, lighter and better on fuel than previous equivalent models.

                            I think the fuel issue has settled down, now seem to be getting more miles now.
