Opel Omega in detail about fuel consumption
Content
Opel Omega cars can often be found on our roads - this is a convenient, versatile, inexpensive car. And the owners of such a car are most interested in the fuel consumption of the Opel Omega.
Car modifications
The production of Opel Omega cars lasted from 1986 to 2003. During this time, the cars of this lineup have changed a lot. They are divided into two generations. Opel Omega is classified as a business class car. Produced in two cases: sedan and station wagon.

Specifications Opel Omega A
They are distinguished by rear-wheel drive and several types of engine, namely:
- gasoline carburetor with a volume of 1.8 liters;
- injection (1.8i, 2.4i, 2,6i, 3.0i);
- diesel atmospheric (2,3YD);
- turbocharged (2,3YDT, 2,3DTR).
The transmission was both manual and automatic. All cars of the Opel Omega A lineup have disc brakes equipped with a vacuum booster, except for models with a two-liter engine that have ventilated front discs.
Specifications Opel Omega B
Both externally and technically, second-generation cars differ from their predecessors. The exterior and interior have been upgraded. The design has changed the shape of the headlights and trunk.
The models of the new modification had an increased engine displacement, and diesel engines were supplemented with the Common Rail function (bought from BMW).
Fuel consumption in different conditions
Every driver knows that cars consume different amounts of gasoline in different conditions. Fuel consumption rates for the Opel Omega are also determined on the highway, in the city and in the combined cycle.
Track
When driving on a free road, the car has a lower fuel consumption, because it has the ability to accelerate enough and not slow down at traffic lights, crossings, winding along winding city streets.
The average fuel consumption of the Opel Omega on the highway for each modification is different:
- Opel Omega A Wagon 1.8: 6,1 L;
- A Station wagon (diesel): 5,7 l;
- Opel Omega A Sedan: 5,8 L;
- A Sedan (diesel): 5,4 l;
- Opel Omega B Wagon: 7,9 l;
- Opel Omega B Wagon (diesel): 6,3 L;
- B Sedan: 8,6 l;
- B Sedan (diesel): 6,1 liters.
In the city
In the conditions of the city, where there are a lot of traffic lights, turns and often there are traffic jams in which you have to drive the engine in idle mode, fuel costs sometimes go off scale. Fuel costs on the Opel Omega in the city are:
- first generation (gasoline): 10,1-11,5 liters;
- first generation (diesel): 7,9-9 liters;
- second generation (gasoline): 13,2-16,9 liters;
- second generation (diesel): 9,2-12 liters.
Fuel economy
Saving on fuel is a good way to keep your finances in good shape. Gasoline and diesel prices are steadily rising, so you have to be cunning to save money.
Technical condition of the machine
Defective cars consume much more fuel than those that work perfectly. Therefore, if you want to reduce the cost of fuel for a vehicle, send the car for inspection. First of all, if the actual fuel consumption on the Opel Omega B has increased, you need to check the "health" of the engine and auxiliary systems. Faults may be:
- in the cooling system;
- in the undercarriage;
- malfunction of individual parts;
- in the battery.
Much depends on the condition of the spark plugs and air filter. If these parts are changed and cleaned in a timely manner, fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 20%.
Gasoline consumption of Opel Omega with a mileage of more than 10 thousand kilometers increases by about 1,5 times. It's all about wear and tear. If you change them on time, you will avoid many problems, including too much fuel consumption.
Savings in winter
In winter, when the air temperature drops below zero, the engine starts to “eat” a lot of gasoline. But man cannot influence the weather. Is it possible to reduce fuel consumption on Opel Omega in winter?
- Fire-resistant car blankets can be used to warm up the engine faster.
- It is better to refuel the car in the morning - at this time the air temperature is lower, so the fuel density is greater. A liquid with a higher density occupies a smaller volume, and when it is warmer, its volume increases.
- Fuel consumption can be reduced by reducing aggressive driving style. It is worth making turns, braking and starts more calm: it is safer and more economical.
