The crucial thing for me was that a change in lifestyle brought the need

40mpg at 70 on the motorway.

Sounds like poor design. My 3.5 Rover auto - '85 - does 15 mpg on short
trips, like down to the shops in winter. Even an old 4.2 Jag I had on
carburettors with an auto choke did better than your Omega.
