Title: Galaxy MPG ? Post by Tons_of_fun on Mar 18th, 2010, 4:01pm Hi all. I have been toying with the idea of getting a cheap mk1 Galaxy for the mundane monday to friday stuff, in the hope of saving a couple of quid on my fuel bill's. Trouble is i cant find a definative answer on how good the 2.0ltr is on fuel around town. Some say as much as 25 mpg, others say around 15 :o :o, which would kind of defeat the point of buying one in the first place. I have thought about getting a diesel, but only have about £1000 to play with, so it's unlikley i'll find one for that. Anyone have any ideas ? ? . Dont want to end up with two petrol guzzlers ::). Cheers guys... Craig :) |

Title: Re: Galaxy MPG ? Post by Highlander on Mar 18th, 2010, 7:00pm I always thought the Galaxy was pretty sore on fuel. They must be a similar weight to the Scorpio and use the same 16v engines so i wouldnt think there's any significant difference in mpg |
