07 will be Haldex 3 - Haldex 4 was fitted from 2009 MY onwards.

Eco Stop/Start should save fuel each time it stops the engine for longer than 3 seconds.

My old 2007 manual's best was 41mpg and over a 10 month period averaged just over 38mpg

Hi all, new to owning an FL2 after downsizing from a discovery 3. Read about fuel useage and am beginning to wonder!
My disco 3 managed a steady 26mpg with most of that on short journeys. Longer runs got maybe 30-31, saw 33 once!
I bought the freelander to save costs on fuel amongst other things. So far I am around 30 mpg and struggle to get more!
Car is a 57 Xs with hse style wheels manual, with around 100k on the clock.

It has just been serviced with new tyres as well.

I had hoped for loads more as this is a small car compared to my last truck!

Anything to help appreciated!

Hi All

So that's 4 weeks with MY13 GS & 1,200 miles and getting 35.3mpg - 1 long run to Liverpool and a far bit of town driving - looking good for the future when the engine has loosened up, well happy

Averaged 35.9 over first year. Only using refiners diesel but not Ultimate. TD4 Auto GS. Best was over 41 on steady motorway run on nice day. Previous car was Dodge Caliber 1.8 petrol doing no more. Very happy so far.

Northumberland to Gloucestershire for Xmas, plus some running around: 608 miles, 39.1 mpg (according to the trip computer). Not quite as good as last time I went down (40.1 mpg), but that was probably just the running around.

my td4 e does 32 mpg round town and 40 mpg on a run at a steady 64mph

sparky Bazz, your TD4e should do nearer 50+ at a steady 65 mph.

I had one for a week and averaged 50.8 over 360 miles in a week.

Filled up my SD4 earlier this week on the M56, motorway services just by the Stanlow refinery, 2p litre cheaper than supermarket at home
Drove to Wrexham hospital at between 60-70 and it was showing 44.2 when I got there, thrashed it home later that night, silly speeds seen and it was still showing 37.6 after the 100 mile round trip.

Got average 40mpg on a run to Wales on Friday. Cruise control set at 75 for most of way. Roads quiet. Done 800miles since new. * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

Recorded my best ever MPG today on a trip out to Southend on Sea....mixture of Motorway and Duel Carriageway at a steady 63-65 mph got me this

I'll throw my hat in the ring..... first thing I will say is that I had low expectations but even if it was a Hummer I would still be trying to get the best out of it....

So on my way back from collection I was 36 or 37 mpg which was mostly motorway

Since then I have done a couple of school runs and driving around town and I'm down to 29/30.9 mpg. I'm working the basis of a) I have every warming gadget going in the car on to stay toasty b) Its very cold so I expect the engine would be working harder ( poss due to a) ) and c) coming from an auto that used to do 33mpg to 38mpg its not been much of a shock but I am still learning to drive the car the best way.

In context mines a 06 FL2 so I believe it should have the Haldex 3 not 4 which catching up on this massive thread makes a difference ?

Any thoughts on improvement ?

MY13 SD4. 250 mile round trip from Market Harborough to Eastnor and back, 37.8mpg.

Third tank in the newbie - 41, second was 42.3 mostly motorway (but mixing the speeds) and fist was 39 very mixed mkiles per gallon from the dealer fill-up that might not have been quite "full" like I do.

It should all be loosened off soon so will get a true picture. Not sure if stop-start is doing much for me as I do a lot of M'way but it has too help no matter how little. Overall average for the last car (every drop recorded) was 38.9 and an average of all the trip meter readins over the life was 40.1 Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red

First chance to see what my XS will do decent journey. Now has 3k on the clock.

Leicester to Lincoln on the A46, 120 mile round trip. Where possible cruise set to 65mpg and it returned 44.3mpg. That was more than expected so what did Land Rover do to the engine between 10MY and 12MY? I see the emissions are lower and there is a difference in the power delivery in 1st and 2nd gears which appears limited but still rapid if you want to get away quickly. I guess that is to save on clutch warranty work! A Land Rover owner since 1988
