We have had our Insignia Ecoflex for 2 months now, and I can't get any more than 450 miles to a tank. It works out roughly 28 mpg. We sold a fab Jeep just to get more mpg (we were told nearly 50), but I thought at worse it might do double what the Jeep did (22!). At the present mpg it just wasn't worth changing considering how comfy/safe/etc. the Jeep was compared with this car.

Absolutely agree, have had similar problems with the rear set of discs. Went through a full new set of pads by 20,000, and have now just gone through another at 38,000. Seeing as 90% of my driving is motorway, I'm really at a loss to explain this. Dealers and Vauxhall HQ don't want to know, and put it down to fair wear and tear... Rubbish... Fronts are still the originals and have at least 50% left on them. Rear doors leak like mad during heavy rain, and handbrake auto-adjuster doesn't seem to work.
