fuel consumption of 3.2l GT?
Hy there,
I'm thinking about buying a Alfa Romeo GT 3.2l V6, but was wondering about the "real" consumption per 100 km. I`m especially interested in the xconsumption at high speed for example when going with an average speed of around 160 km/h. Thanks in advance Thomas |

I would expect that to be 18 and 25 for the 3.2. Hope this helps. BTW - buy it and enjoy it and just fill it up when it needs! Thats my real advice. |

My Dad used to have a 164 3.0 V6 and he got 30 to the gallon on average with 35 to the gallon on the motorway. He didn't hang around either. We were very surprised by the economy. It was a 12v, I don't know whether or not there's a great difference between the 12 valves and the 24 valve engines. |

I'd expect an average of 26-28mpg.
I get a very consistent 28mpg from my GTV V6 3.0 24v. |

If you're worried about that, get yourself a 1.9JTD!!

I do not want to be rude, but having an Alfa Romeo 3.2 V6 I think fuel
consumption is the last thing thinking about... ;-))) And well, it depends on your driving style of course. The engine sounds marvellous so NOT revving the engine would be a heavy struggle. I think you have to think about 1 litre per 6 to 9 km (depending on high speeds on the highway to town-use or driving it the relaxed way). Greetz and Enjoy!

I found it only got a bit worse when cruising at between 180 and 225kph in Germany, when I used about 11.5 litres/100km. I would expect the 3.2l to use only a little more fuel. By the way, it's a perfectly reasonable question if you do a lot of miles at that speed :-) Mark PS For interested UK people, the above translates into: 25.6mpg @ 100mph 24.5mpg @ 110-140mph |
