Outstanding for a SD4 Id say. Do you drive at 50 mostly ?
We average 36 mpg, occasionally seen 38mpg - never seen 40 or higher. Trouble is were either doing short local trips up and down hills or long trips up and down motorways. Once you get over 2000rpm on the motorway the MPG seems to really fall off. Jules

i set CC AT 65 MPH on motorway then just drove sensiblewhen i got off but as you say nor much over 50mph but what helped is no traffic on the road so i wasn,t in the rat race i was able to control what i was doing but i kept up with thetraffic and nothing else and stuck to speed limits and drove safely and the MPG was amazing and i think it put 10 minutes on the journey

i must say i don,t normally drive like that it wasjust a test next week i,ll get there 10 minutes earlier and see the results

Just done a 280 mile run mainly motorways managed 41mpg but normally around town I'm lucky if I get more than 28 mpg. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green
MY57 SE Stornoway Grey. Gone
Nissan X Trail
Discovery V8 LPG
Series II Land Rover

My long term average is 21.3 mpg, ave speed is 23.6 mph. This includes air conditioning on all the time.

Best was a run back to Sydney outer suburbs 236 miles, 33.6 mpg, average speed 61.5 mph, then it all went pear shaped! We also had a slight tail wind.

There are enough long straight flat roads here & depending on wind direction fuel consumption can easily vary up to +/-15% depending on wind strength.

What brand of fuel . FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Not an FL2 but in our SD4 Evoque I had a puncture in Derbyshire and put the space saver spare on and stuck to a maximum of 50mph on the way home. I averaged something like 47mpg. On the way up I think it was around 35mpg. Speed definately makes a difference. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

44.9mpg was the best I ever saw in my SD4 albeit average was around 36 - 37 mpg. I found it more economical than the TD4 perhaps because of the slight bhp increase meaning the engine didn't have to work as hard. Not a patch on my X3 though, best I have achieved is 54.1mpg and averaging 45mpg! Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
