United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Sumatra Black

Click image to enlarge


Today's experiment 60 mph over 112 miles (actually average 46.5mph) == 49.6 mpg

Wow is all I could think. I was initially wondering if I would get to the magical 47mpg (I saw quoted somewhere) but when I got to 49 mpg I stopped at Membury for a celebratory coffee (60mph is so boring).

NB I did clean and polish the car - I wonder if that helped Laughing FL2 HSE 2.2 TD4 MY07 Sumatra Black

By travelling slower you are putting more running hours onto the vehicle so the amount you save in fuel will be spent on repairs as your engine is running for longer Shocked Black FL2

Warriorbez can keep his tyres clean easily without bending down; it also helps to make the tyres last longer than anybody elses.
Perhaps its time to turn over a new leaf............or car

It's the same distance, if you drive fast or slower the wheels still rotate the same amount Confused p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

What I would be interested in is - Annie have you still got the car and has your fuel mpg improved, you have certainly generated a large amount of responses!

No he is not one of us, Rugby is firmly in England. If I walk faster do my shoes wear out more quickly.??

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Stornoway Grey

Whilst there is a limit to how slow I will drive i noted on my recent european caravan tour that driving at 60mph-ish doesn't in practice add that much time to journeys. The main problem was boredem (especially driving across Belgium) on m/ways and was getting a gradual improvement with mpg as the holiday progressed reaching a best of 29mpg towing and 47+mpg solo. That was using Vpower or similar whenever possible and 2S0 additive. It would be helpful for owners to report what tyres and fuel they run on when noting mpg returns, these all have a bearing. I am on 235/17 road going Michelins in a 2009 TD4e manual.

Just to be clear my figures are actual not from the computer which on mine is about 2 mpg optimistic. eh tu?

I recently drove 180 miles to London, all motorway. Didn't go above 70. I averaged 40mpg using supermarket diesel. My tyres are general grabber AT. On the return leg I got 35mpg doing in excess of 70mph. I don't add anything to the diesel but Iam thinking of adding 2 stroke. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.
