That's not to bad for a petrol FL2, it's better than some diesel autos that have been talk about on this forum. |

The 35mpg was driving on very light throttle and did involve long distances. Not completely like your granny as when you pick up speed you could keep going at a steady pace, just needed careful use of the power pedal!

at first I was getting 38-41MPG but in the last month or so it's rapidly dropped to 35-36. I only really use Tesco fuel as that's the nearest but perhaps the cold weather is playing a factor with it... :s Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual MY11 - 61REG Stratstone Mayfair

Mine is exactly the same, dropped a good 5mpg since the colder weather and darker nights started. Same last year so nothing to worry about. |

First real run - 450 mile round trip - in the i6. Air Con on, mainly M-way with sporadic traffic / occasional jam and a bit of snow and managed a whole 24.8 mpg (based on a click to click refil, the OBC had it down at 24.2). Glad I didn't buy it for the fuel economy! |

Mine has also dropped and we find the vehicles at work drop by 3 to 4 mpg during the winter, we have ruled out the less mpg due to the length of time to get up to running temperature as the mpg still does not improve if we get them up to temperature and then reset the on board computer, I have thought it may be down to the winter additives |

On our i6, the 35mpg as shown on the OBC was when we did a trip from Bucks up the west coast of scotland, when you hit the top turned right and came back down the middle. So initially it was a lot of motorway and the weather was warm so AC was used and we left early in the morning so lights were on. It was over the space of a week and we did around 1800miles or so during the trip. Lots of it was on unclassified and B roads, never really racing along 40 to 50 on the roads we could do that, 60 to 70 on the motorways.

Had to do a airport run on Sunday night - SD4 with 6k miles on the clock. Outside temperature was hovering between -1 and 1c. 60 miles on m25 with very little traffic, and I reset the obc as I joined the motorway.

I use mine for the daily commute to work, approx 7 miles each way of 30mph zones and traffic lights, some light motorway use cruising at 70(ish), I average between 20-23mpg, gotta be honest its lower than i expected, I would have thought 28mpg would have been fairer for mixed use, going up to early/mid 30's for more motorway use.

Our i6 is still doing okay on the MPG, just been to Dorset and back with running around whilst there, covered 460miles roughly. The OBC was showing 26 to 30mpg so really pleased with that. |

with the autobox 23mpg when she uses it for the shopping runs, 29/30 when driven with a bit of spirit on A roads and enough distance to get it warmed up , 35 is the best I've ever done,but that is " Driving Miss Daisy" but to be fair the car only does about 300 miles a month so it's not a problem, 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership 2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles .

In heavy traffic my i6 can go up to 400km before the low fuel warning light comes on. For easy motorway driving can go up to 620km which is very very good. Driving in Germany with 180-200Km/h you get the heavy traffic consumption.

Just done Bridgewater M5 to home (280 miles?) in cruise control at 65 mph and returned an MPG of 46.8 - very pleased and suprised. Been a while since I did a long trip and I was amazed at how little traffic on the M'ways since I was a regular traveller 4 years ago. Tony |
