Improved MPG ?

I have noticed a small improvement in MPG of around 1 mpg recently, and was wondering what had changed......

I then noticed I had Terrain Response set to Grass Gravel and Snow

So the question is if Sand Mode is "Sport" is Grass Gravel and Snow "Econ" ?

I guess the answer must be NO as it is intended for what it says it is intended for Wink 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I can see over use of the mud and ruts prog doing that due to the HDC , but the other progs will make no difference to durability. At work

Bit of a generalisation that Andy?
As a rule, I don't use the programmes much, though I do use Sand for the traffic lights occasionally, and use them when needed.

United Kingdom 

at the week end i was blasting down the motorway and was getting 30mpg, switched to Grass/gravel and got an extra 0.2mpg Thumbs Up

My dealer, my LRE driver have all told me its find to drive for extended periods in the TR systems

at the end of the day you could drive across a desert and need it in sand mode all day etc, but then they say it should be used on tarmac all the time as the car expects a little loss of traction, when it doesn't get on tarmac

Grass Gravel snow likewise you can drive for extended time with out problem

I have used GGS whilst towing the caravan and my mpg increase, i put it down to the fact it will be more full time 4x4 in that mode with a more delicate throttle responce Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Don’t misunderstand what is meant to be serious and what is meant as humorous remark Whistle

If you would agree with anybody you should agree with Land Rover Thumbs Up . Many comments on any forum are often assumptions and generalisations by well being contributors who in reality no nothing at all about what they are spouting Shocked 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

The car doesn't know what surface you are driving on so none of the settings will damage the car, the different settings only "highten" the senses of all the sensors that are fitted.

In a similar fashion when my mother used to tell me not to go out with wet hairs otherwise I would catch a cold.
