Spending au$50 - 60k on a car & one is worrying about fuel economy?

Look at one of the largest threads, the MPG discussion thread, staggering how many people blindly buy a two tonne 4x4 and then whine at the fuel "economy"

MPG is one of the reasons why Ive just left FL2/Land Rover ownership

Ive gone from averaging 33mpg to averaging 53mpg which I hope will improve as I get used to a different driving style again.

If I go back to owning a Land Rover in the future I may well look at an older model to use/abuse as a 2nd car.

Lol RogB, I suppose I can relate but in my case it was out of a Petrol Land Rover and into a Diesel Land Rover
Possibly the later model FL2's are better on diesel as I can't understand how some of you guys report so low mileage when I'm getting city mileage 28-30mpg and I'm right in the CBD, not neighbourhoods. I hit 9.9l/100 today only because I was driving around with A/C on! MY15

Only 3500 km to date, 20.1 MPG. AC always on, lots of hills & intersections, & a few times stuck at the Spit Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_Bridge Northern Beaches Silver Tails passport control to keep the plebs out! Or in other words pointless traffic jams forcing one to listen to the Meridian in air-conditioned arm chair comfort. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Saw one today in black looked better than this somehow, extra black pack?? the bonnet lettering was certainly darker quite hard to read,we met on a roundabout didnt get a proper look

That one is HSE Lux which has the brighter lettering, my one is HSE which has darker lettering, now though you can get HSE Black which is as it says HSE with black pack.

twas a black pack then, cuts down on the in your face DISCOVERY wording.
black wheels makes sense what with all the brake dust on silvers ones, why fight it just use black.

I think I get 5% NFU discount on a HSE , ingenium gets a good write up in the press, as does the auto box At work

considering a disco sport white with black pack so black roof, very nice but could I live with 20in alloys?? a bling to far?

Fuji white or metallic yulong?

The 20s suit the DS fills the arches nice, maybe not ideal for farm roads though. I'm sure the HSE 19s are available in black as an accessory wheel.
