Same here Andy - as earlier mentioned I have also tried accurately calculating fuel consumption and comparing it with the computer reading. If you use common sense you will find there is very little (if any) difference. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof. Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |

57 plate GS TD4 automatic owned for 11 months now with 16000 on the clock. I always fill and calculate the mpg.

I was getting ~39-40 mpg on 80+ motorway + rural back roads (150 miles journeys) after 'chipping'.

Sorry Dave for the misunderstanding, I should have said I refuel when the Low warning light came on. Not when I had ran out of fuel??

That's pretty good going. Would you care to divulge your 'modifications'? I might be up for one of those. Getting such good figures with high speed motorway miles is impressive. We all know we're not driving the most aerodynamically efficient design and that's what drains the tank (since drag is approximately proportional to speed squared). |

No need to apologise JP, my mpg at the moment is averaging 34 at the mo but that was after a trip to France, I expect it to go down in a few days of local driving. That 673 range was after we filled up on the Isle of Sky and the computer was showing just over 40 mpg It is possible to get good mpg but boy it ain't half boring driving at a slow speed ______________________ 2011 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 2012 FL2 SD4 Auto HSE 2013 Kawasaki Versys 650 |

Hi, have just returned from a 2 week, 3200 mile trip to southern Spain and got 37.3mpg. this included some offroad work up some pretty steep mountain tracks. The FL2 did not miss a beat all the way and was the most comfortable car I have driven for long distances.
