I know we can all get a bit happy with ourselves for owning the FL2, but I took this after 83 miles on a 350 mile round trip yesterday, althouth admittedly it dropped to 45.4 by the time I got home. My mate owns a Santa Fe (Rice and sweet and sour - You know the one) He is absolutly gutted with his 30-32 MPG

I'm not sure, but I can't help thinking you shouldn't be taking pictures of your dash while driving at 58mph. |

Wow. I wish the TD4 was available here in the US. I've been happy with 16-17mpg in city and 21-22 on the highway. I think it's an oil company conspiracy.

You could easily increase your mpg if you used our gallons instead of yours! (1 imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallon) 2007 Baltic Blue SE TD4 Auto |

Harvest plough and sow the field again all should be finished by mid Oct At work At home "I can't always believe facts I read on the web" - Charles Dickens winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race |

In Norway the farmers get subsidised (cheaper) diesel for farmers/tractor use. The only difference is the colour of the stuff for identifying unlawful use. Just wondered if the UK had a similar system? 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof. Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |

Tractor fuel is dyed red to identify it, It is not subsidised, it receives a much lower rate of duty than road fuel mainly because tractors don't spent much of their life on the road. Any tractor not employed in a farming role whilst on the highway would have to run on road fuel at the high duty rate.
