Do you win the award for person on the forum getting closest to the combined mpg figure?

That's amazing economy. We are averaging around 37mpg (just passed our first 1000 miles) |

Mine now is about to hit 1000 miles & I get on a run 45/46mpg, short runs 34/35mpg well happy with those figures If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!. |

I have to sy I have made several negative comments about the fuel consumption on my manual FL2 some may due to the car but most I suspect because I do many short journeys though I don't use the aircon & I am not heavy with the right foot. I do get a lot of turbo lag on general driving (not motorways or slow driving).

Thanks. R.E Turbo Lag. Mine is very noticeable on town type journeys on roads where you can change gears properly & even worse up hills i.e not stop/start traffic but normal driving etc as it can really pull you back. Fast roads like motorways - you don't get it. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red. (Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red. (Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding. (Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather. |

I've not reset the trip for six days and although i've only covered just under 300 miles in that time, i'm getting 44.7 mpg. No aircon on cos it's not working!! I do 60 on A roads but i don't do short journeys, 4 miles is the shortest twice a week.

Beginning to think the fuel economy thing has to be to do with driving style and types of journey / terrain. Even the slightest incline and you can literally watch the MPG drop like a stone. Have been trying to drive very carefully and not boot it too much and recently managed to get it returning late 40's on a motorway / urban run (reset trip as going along to see what it would register at motorway speed). Gave it back to my better half registering 49.2 avg. She drove it once (short journey) now back down to 35.9. Think the FL2 is just susceptible to changes in terrain / driving style that a lighter and smaller car would not be. Friend of mine has a diesel Clio and he struggles to get it BELOW 50mpg! However, am prepared to put up with the MPG as the FL2 has a 5 star crash test rating, maybe due to its mass! |

The reading will drop like a stone when you encounter an incline, if the computer is reset regularly, but if it has not been set to zero for a longer period, then that same incline will probably have no effect. It is just a mathematical equasion.

The best MPG I have got on my FL2 was about 147mpg but that was only for a fleeting second after I had reset it whilst on the move. Then it dropped like a stone.
