Just took delivery of my new (demo) FL2 SE TD4 auto and drove it home from Melbourne to Qld (got an awesome deal in Melbourne compared with what I could get in Qld which made the trip worthwhile). Love the car so far.

With a diesel engine you won't start getting optimum fuel economy until you've done about 10000 miles.

Dealer tells me that you don't get optimum fuel economy until they've done at least 10,000 km.

Also, fuel consumption will always be slightly poorer when using cruise control. |

Just this weekend did a 320 mile round trip, mostly at motorway speeds with 3 passengers and got my best ever consumption - 34.7 mpg. Normally only used on short local trips where it does less than 25 mpg. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

My one averages about 34mpg, could be better, but not disappointed either. Didn't buy it for its class leading fuel economy. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

The only time I use less than 7l per 100km is when I'm carrying no passengers and I'm cruising on the highway and can use 6th gear.

We have a 2010 GS Auto and live just north of Derby where it is mildly hilly. The fuel consumption is dramatically different depending upon where we drive. On local hilly runs of say 10 miles it will give 31mpg, go a bit further north and use the motorway it will give 34.5, going south where its flatter on one run I can get 39mpg. Towing the caravan going north say 26mpg, going south down and into Cornwall those Devon and Cornwall long hills kill the MPG down to 23.
