Went to Wales over the weekend and was pleasantly suprised by the mpg I acheived. The 120 mile journey there which comprised of 70-85mph on the M54 and 50-60mph through the welsh mountains came up at an astonishing 39.1mpg!!

Mine shows just 33.8, and that's a gentle 65mph cruise up and down the M1. Not as good as I was hoping. |

Looks like I took it too easy!, Got the dreaded performance reduced today with fault P244A, something to do with the PDF so Mr AA man said. Off to dealers on Thursday, not had it a month yet!! |

Get a caravan .!!! that will slow you down .. seriously as I reported some months ago , if you drive sensibly look ahead,drive to the conditions no heavy breaking or acceleration, it is quite easy to obtain 40+ mpg, the only thing is do not be fooled by the "on board computer" do a proper check, tankfull to tankfull divide number of liters by 4.546 to get gallons then mileage by the gallons = mpg some times on board computer tells heap big lies ..!!! Wales Were the mud is thicker, and the ruts are deeper. (And we have the water to wash it off, and more on the way..! ) Sd4 and chrome Ar*e piece, Auto box for best fun 09 Xs Gone 12 xs Gone HSE with Leather seats and 4 years warrenty.. staying for now ! |

I'm in the wrong place and use my Freelander the wrong way to get good mpg. Most of my trips are under ten miles and the first thing I have to do when leaving home with a cold engine is go up a steep hill to get out of our lovely seaside village. Cornwall is beautiful but it's definitely not like Norfolk! Up till about six weeks ago I was getting around 27-28mpg in regular use with just over 30 on longer trips up country. I always brim the tank at fillups and work out the mpg. So far the trip computer seems pretty accurate - if anything it underreads the mpg, unlike my previous 5-series BMW that was regularly 10% optimistic.
