It must have upgraded seats, the standard XS doesn't have the arm rests. You might be lucky and have the memory function too. |

I didn't say that much would be saved - only £££££ But with hindsight I probably was liberal with the potential savings, so like all the world's economies I'll downgrade myself to a respectable £££ However upon examination of LR's own data the average fuel consumption for the auto box over the maunal box per 100kms is 1.2ltrs of fuel. Given that her Ladyships' FL2 delivers a minimum of 850kms per tank full that equates to a fuel saving of 10.2ltrs (8.5 x 1.2 =10.2ltrs less fuel consumed) In imperial measures LR state that in an auto you will be burning an extra 2.24 gallons of diesel to cover the same distance - per 850kms/528mls. Therefore the individual needs to calculate the cost saving over their usual annual mileage. In her Ladyship's case that would be 16,000kms p.a., so that would be a saving of 192 litres of diesel - or 42 gallons. Here in CH that amount of fuel would cost CHF364 at today's FX that's GBP£243 approx., annual saving Manual vis Auto Box. Note that that saving is on current fuel prices, the cost of which is bound to increase per litre as each year progresses during your FL2 ownership cycle. Or 243 Beer Tokens for the Pub today How many more will that be in 2013 |

But a manual should be about £1000 cheaper. And it's a nice box (mine is, anyways). |

My SD4 will creep on the level but any slight incline will stop the creep and it never rolls backwards while in gear. |
