Hi all i was just wanting to know what people get from a full tank of fuel. I am not that impressed with my MPG best i get is 30MPG. It has been to the dealer who states that there is nothing wrong with it. I can get 465 miles out of a full tank of diesel.
Be nice to know what others are getting so i can go back to the dealer.

Im on my first tank and done 450 miles and still 1/4 left. Have to say the first 300 on the motorway. Mine is a manual. fuel average is on 38.4mpg

I always reset the mile thingy and get 550- 600 per tank

I have to say one of my main gripes with our car is the rubbish mpg, we struggle to get much more than an average of 32-33 mpg . That's a mix of town and A roads too.

Thanks for the replys, i seems most people get about the same as me.
222 What type of driving is that all motorway ? it cant be around town ! is yours FL2 a manual or auto ?

I throw £70 a fortnight in & get around 450 miles a tank.

Depends on the way you drive, I am fairly light footed, have an auto which is 2 months old and get around 460 - 500.

It's been said before but its over 2 tons, is shaped like a brick and all the wheels are driving at the same time so overall I think the MPG is pretty good.

The posts that say early 30's mpg figures are rubbish should go back 15 years or so when the average mpg for a basic escort/vectra etc was around 28 ish if you were careful so all in all technology has come on in recent years.

Its a great car and fairs a lot better than the majority of the competition of similar size weight  2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys

It's not over 2 tons and all 4 wheels don't drive all the time.
Permanent 4 wheel drive up to about 18 - 20mph, then most of the drive is moved to the front wheels leaving about 3 - 5% drive to the rear wheels. ______________________

Mines a manual, done. 31k. The driving I do is 50 mines a day on country roads, almost non stop.
I accelerate gradually and try to slow down with the gears.

Hope that helps

I was trying to make the point that you don't buy these cars for economy and that it is economical in this class........ I was quoting the weight other posters had stated and their assessment of the weight seemed correct.........Upto 18 - 20 mph is where most of the fuel is probably burnedgiven its weight and all wheels driving!

If you would like to enlighten members including me about the exact weight please feel free  2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys

Very true, you don't buy an LR if you're concious about fuel economy....

Bloody god cars though  ______________________

Couldn't agree more with both comments.

Was a bit unsure about mine coming from a much loved FL1, but have grown to appreciate it especially after such a good winter.

Neither have been good on fuel, been lucky to get more than 30mpg out of either, but my driving style and a heavy car are equally to blame. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

In our manual we get 450 - 525 miles on a tank. Mainly A and B road driving.

Our manual is similar 470-525 although very little town driving.
