Kolas Kab - wow if I could only get 35-37MPG I would feel over the moon. Your figures are the best I ever got from my Merc E320 estate on a 1500 journey. |

Nigel - straight back to the dealer! From the figures I have seen, the SD4 should be more economical than the early models (such as mine). Your fuel consumption is a little alarming to say the least. I could only guess at binding brakes or whatever. My consumption figures can be seen (& clicked on) below my sig - and 08 manuals are early doors compared to your model. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

My 61 plate SD4 has averaged 34.74mpg since getting it last April (about 8000 miles). The best was 42.70mpg on a 240 mile journey, and I have just covered 230 miles today with 39mpg. What you will find though is a drastic difference if you are just a little heavy footed. The SD4 is great but unforgiving on mpg if you use that power!! |

Nigel, the problem now is how do you convince your dealer, unless it is black or white in their faces it's usually dismissed.

LRs do not return good MPG if driven in town environments ie heavy traffic. You only need short hold-ups or traffic crawls to totally blow your average MPG. When I lived down your way I was getting much lesss to the gallon than I do in the relatively low traffic environment of Suffolk.

With the diesel Freelander if your after better economy you ideally need to keep the RPM below 2000 or there or thereabouts, go much above that and it slurps it. But at the end of the day if economy is towards the top of your list then a Land Rover is not for you. |

Combined fuel consumption for SD4 is 40.4. On a recent journey from Leicestershire to East Midlands I got 38.5 on the way there and 37.8 on the way back in works SD4. Mostly motorway sticking to the speed limit and slightly below.
