Vehicle has now copvered 60K ('08) and still gives me 42mpg during the summer (it was at 43.5 after 250 miles when I dropped it off at the stealer today). This can drop to 37mpg in the winter (winter of 09/10 especially bad) ... returned 39mpg this winter. Most of my driving is open road rural so plodding along at 50 for 10 miles or so on an 18mile run isn't unusual. Going home one night I filled up and the last 12miles achieved 57mpg! .... if only 2008 Freelander2 GS TD4

I tanked up with Tesco Diesel a week ago and drove from Kent to Birmingham, on to Liverpool and averaged 48.0

I'm disappointed when I don't get 40 average on the trip computer on a tankful (volume calculation is always a bit less).

I've been really disappointed in the diesel consumption since we got the 2008 HSE Auto last year. Admittedly we do a fair few shortish runs (around 5 miles or 9 miles is common) but there are some longer runs included as well and even on the motorway at 70-75 mph consumption doesn't go above 32mpg. Running around locally it's under 30 - sometimes 27.5

Best ever today 11 plate SD4 250 mile round trip from stoke on Trent to Bristol and back 45.2 mpg according to the OBC I was stunned maybe the engine has finally loosened up after 25,000 miles SD4 Sport LE Firenze Red - no options or modifications yet, but it's early days. |

That's good considering the circumstances you mentioned. I do 16 miles to work each day which is mostly a blast down the A38. Trouble is I have a lead foot and do not drive economically at all so I get mid thirties or sometimes low thirties LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Recently I had a loaner whilst my 08 manual was in for service. They gave me a '59 S TD4e. Couldn't get it below 40 mpg no matter how I tried! Ended up returning it with more fuel in it than when I started! Bit of a bummer! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

I have certainly noticed the effect of outside temperature on mpg.
