Just had my longest round trip since owning my 58 td4 with 68k on the clock. Averaged 37mpg at around 80 ish, covering around 350 miles. At around 70 would average 40+. Happy with that Getting around 32mpg, mainly short journeys. Landy has now gone.

Find that my MPG on as 200 mile run is around 38-40 mpg

Without specifying tyres, fuel, weather, load etc comparing fuel economy is not easy and that's before you start with driving style, traffic conditions and so on. For what its worth I am getting around 40mpg solo using Vpower with Continental tyres (215 wide) on a cross country commute with a little bit of m/way and town traffic thrown in. On a gentle driving around Scotland last week 2 up +dog was getting 42-43 mpg, towing the 'van around 27-28. This is before i have swapped the airfilter and changed the oil to the new Millers nano tech oil which is claimed to increase power around 5% by reducing friction. This is with a 2009 'e' spec engine. eh tu?

Pleasantly surprised by my new GS Auto. After the relatively excellent economy of my old manual (39mpg avg) I was concerned about the auto but so far 3000 ish miles and average is 36.4. That's mixed driving but admittedly a fair amount of motorway and A roads. (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc

Likewise, I have a MY13 XS SD4 Auto and within just the first 500 miles mine has been recording 34.9 MPG per trip. That's as far as the car tells me I haven't recordred the figures manually yet, but very pleased as I too suspected less. Just hope that as the mileage grows the MPG will too. Joanne

I have achieved 34.7 over the last 5k miles running on branded diesel with Millers additive. I am now running a trial on V-Power. Started with 34.5 on first tankful but got stuck in 1 3/4 hr traffic jam on M25 so may be lower than expected. Will post again after 5 tanks. 12MY 61plate FL2 TD4 auto GS Orkney Grey Roof spoiler full size spare

Had my 2011 SD4 just over a week now and until today was a bit disappointed with the mpg. Mainly town driving was indicating 28 mpg on the trip computer but on a run around the Trossachs it was 39 mpg for the 75 mile round trip. Showed 42 mpg for the 1st 30 mile on A and B roads before we hit the hilly bits.

I have always done a manual check of mpg on previous cars but from previous experience and reading through most of this post the true mpg is only a couple down from the trip computer reading, so am quite happy with that.

I do agree so far the on board computer does seem very close to real world mpg. For those with new cars you will find when mileage gets north of 10,000 economy will be showing an improvement against new. diesels take much longer to reach optimum running conditions than petrol. eh tu?

An up date on my 2013 HSE td4 manual

Just over 5500 miles from new since mid March and the average "full to Full" mpg is 40.88 - which is in line with what I was hoping for.
Fortunately mostly decent runs - short distance and hills have a significant adverse effect on MPG, Will post the graph if I can work out how to add a photo from an IPad edited to show photo link

On a recent run from Oxford to Newcastle, recorded 51mpg on my 09 Freelander. Average speed 65mph :
On average return is 40-42mpg just running around.

Just returned from holiday in North Wales/Anglesey.Went Devon, Shropshire, Anglesey, South Wales and return Devon. 6 nights away roads a good mix of A,B and M. Two up in my 2010 GS keeping to speed limits, mostly, indicated mpg 43.3 over 865 miles. Well pleased. This figure should be accurate as previous brim to brim tests showed close agreement. No problems on journey apart from Welsh language signs. OK when I learned to read the lower part first!!

On day to day use have never got more than 29 mpg over the two years had my SD4. Best return was on a trip to Norwich and back going via M11 and Newmarket and back on the A roads via Ipswich got 36 mpg but rarely get anywhere near this.

First serious test of fuel economy. 1700 miles across France including crossing the Massif Central and the twisty narrow roads of Haut Provence. 28.6 mpg - not bad for a 3.2 petrol fully loaded. My Freelander 1 TD4 only used to return 30 mpg on a good run. Freelander 2 i6 3200 Petrol

Hi all,
Just picked up our 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE AUTO at the weekend. Struggling, even whilst being very careful to get much over 26-28 MPG.....is this sounding about right? i've had a brief read through this post, but all seem to be quite a bit better than mine.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards,
Mozz

Mozz that does sound a bit low but the mpg on older cars is not as good, and yours IS an auto.
You will get much less than this if running cold - check it again when the engine is nice and warm. Other things to try - check brakes not binding, esp handbrake as the mechanism can rust up, try using a premium fuel or adding a little 2-stroke oil (300mil to a full tank), turn off aircon...
My 07 manual does 28 about town, 34 on a run, 39 if I'm really really careful. And remember the computer readings , like your mileage readings, may not be accurate!
