Yes but it's the dividing by 4.54 to get the gallons figure that is the tough bit.....bring back pumps that deliver in gallons!  John

@Dave you ordered a FFRR or buy used?

Nick, not sure yet. i keep checking the local LR dealer but nothing on his forecourt at the mo that takes my fancy. A new one is a huge outlay so probably an ex demo like the D4 was to save a few pennies but definately not another black one, its a real bitch to keep clean  ______________________

Headed west against the strong winds on Saturday and fuel dropped from normal 40 ish to 33-4 even with a very light foot!
 2012 MY TD4 SX Manual in very rare Buckingham Blue!

29mpg from my 2007 on mainly 70ish MPH and round town stuff, not as good as I was hoping

I'm recording 33 on my ODB from a mixture (roughly 50/50 mileage wise) of motorway and short (<5) country lane dashes at national speed limits...

I'm usually hovering around 31... Dunno if the weather has changed things of the fact I have been using command shift more or the short runs but either way it's going in the right direction

This is from a 57 auto with 69k... Maybe it's just starting to run in!? Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

Ok sorry I havent been on here for a while too much work and too little time to do it all. ( As with us all ). Anyway I have been averaging 35.7mpg on a 240 mile trip which is currently equating to 500+ miles per tank. How does this compare with your current figures ? Also anyone who needs a lift to london tomorrow i'm going down that way

Hi All,

Only had my FL2 for about 3 mths, but I've done 7000km in that time and I'm very happy with the fuel consumption. On a recent trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains, which is about 1200km from where I live, the average over the 3000km trip was 7.5lt/100km or about 37.7mpg. That trip included some slow driving in low gears up and down fairly rough mountain tracks. Straight highway driving is around 7.0 lt/100km or 40.4mpg and mixed city and a bit of country around 8.5lt/100km or 33.2mpg. I haven't checked it on straight city as yet but I suspect it will go up dramatically.

My old petrol FL1 was a shocker, returning around 14lt/100km or 20mpg no matter where or how it was driven. Hooray for turbo diesels!

Is yours an Auto or Manual, I average about 32 for an SD4 Auto, no matter how I drive, or it seems what speed.
A little disappointing as I was expecting better, I used to get this from my old TD4 Auto.

May I add my (new) SD4 experience to the thread.

Two tankfulls so far, brim to brim 1021 miles 129.96 Litres I make that 35.75 mpg, OBD says 38.4 mpg.

Incidentally on the second fill up, the range display showed 1 mile, it took 68.1 litres to brim it. At least something is accurate!

I am not unhappy with these figures.  Now: 2012 FL2 SD4 XS Orkney Grey
