wrong car for mpg expect about 28-29 for london driving total nightmare! Use the tube! When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car |

Is the 28-29 for a MY2010 or MY2011 though? High 20s is OK for us tbh. The X5 does low 20s as is but my wife wants something smaller. The Mini is embarrassing for it's engine size though. 22mpg from a 1.6 litre petrol is ridiculous! My wife's commute is about 13 miles in 45 minutes across South London so avoiding central but with quite a bit of stopping/starting. I'd really like to try to work out if the 2011MY Freelanders' mpg is actually that much better than the 2010MY Freelanders or if the significant mpg increase or if they're mainly just made up numbers to please CO2 emission brackets. |

If you went for a manual, a 2010 model would come with stop/start. Some members have claimed to have seen a rise in fuel economy. I have a 2011 SD4 auto, which achieves around 34mpg. That's on motorway blasts and around town. I love mine, and i didn't buy it for fuel economy. It's very comfortable and easy to drive.

My 07 manual used to average around 33-34 on a mix of country and town driving. My 11 manual averages around 36 - 37 on a mix of country and town driving and over 40 on an extended run.

I would suggest that if fuel economy is of particular concern to you, don't buy a Land Rover. I love my vehicle for its breadth of ability and performance. If I wanted good fuel economy I'd drive a diesel supermini.

I recently swapped a 59 plate for a 13MY, and the MPG difference is very significant - to me anyway. I reckon about 8-10 MPG difference depending on circumstance. |

We have a my11, td4 manual, round town on daily commute we get 30-33 pretty consistently , on a run doing 65 to Oxford on Saturday we averaged 51.2 including queuing . So pretty good there, also ved is £170 on ours compared to £215 on the 10my with the 160bhp. Ours is the 150bhp, we bought this model purely for the mix of towing ability and fuel economy.

I average 32 mpg, mainly short journeys, 7 miles each way. This was averaged over a month of driving.

09 TD HSE Auto...30.1mpg. Doing a (fairly brisk) lap of Manchester's motorways everyday as the commute, and some city use now and again. This figure has been consistent over 23,000 miles in the last 9 months. |

Thanks all so much for the replies. Also thanks to those who messages me too - I couldn't reply though due probably to being too new a member.
