Hi all 
As some of you know we currently have a 2.3 saloon and are trying to upgrade to a 24v estate. Will we notice a real difference in petrol/MPG. We do occasionally go on long motorway runs but mainly around town.
Thanks Dan

If you keep your right foot off the carpet you can expect better than that. Behave and you'll average 25. I do, anyway.
