Out of interest how many miles do each of you get from a tank? I have filled my new LR2 Metropolis up and it states it has 388 miles left In the tank.

I am averaging 29mpg according to the on board computer with just under 400 miles on the clock. Is that about right? It was full when I picked it and I refilled it back up at just under quarter of a tank.

Seem to be at the petrol station quite often now, is that the norm?

Appreciate any advise.

570 miles from the current tank, but running on fumes now. 500-ish is the norm.

Autos are poor on fuel consumption - 7mpg worse than manuals according to LRs figures, so whilst 29 may be a little low it's fairly typical.

when tank full dash indicated 490 miles to empty. Had a run from east Hampshire into deepest depths of Dorset yesterday 120 miles each way and returned 42 mpg indicated and 40.01 when refilled on return home. That is about the same as my old Ford Focus 1.6 ghia over a similar journey.

64033 - Do you let your LR run to near enough empty or re-fill at quarter of a tank? Only reason I ask is my Metropolis now has 800 miles on the clock and I have been re-filling it at just under half a tank and once filled it says there is 386 miles to empty. Trip on reset states fuel consumption is 29.2mpg and on auto it has gone up to 36.7mpg on a run to Basingstoke.

Just curious as to why your LR shows more miles to empty than mine.

England 

It will give the Range dependant on what your current mpg is, doing short runs, poor mpg low Range, do a run and get the average up into the 30's on your next fill up your Range will be much improved.

Hi Ben LR2 I normally refuel with around 1/2 to a 1/4 of a tank left. When working out mileage I normally work it out using trip mileage and fuel in litres from either pump or receipt and always stop on first pump shut off, don't have to much faith in trip computer.

England 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Galway Green

Having my 11 GS for just over a week, I've been trying to resist the urge to drive any steadier than I did in my old Insignia. I'm now hovering around the 37mpg mark!! That's a combo of dual carriage and country roads!! #gulp!! Although I was expecting it to be honest, just got to get mind set that I'm driving a FL2 and not an insignia anymore lol . . if I want to see good mpg figures, I can always borrows wifey's C1 . . but then again 😜 lol . .

Still loving the dream!!!!

They aint bad odds at all

Done the same kind of trip again but for 40.7 mpg at its peek Thumbs Up

Least seeing those kind of numbers make me feel ever so warm inside as around town normal driving its a shocking just over 20mpg Laughing The car I had before the freelander 2 was a Hyundai i20 which no matter what you did with it was always 34/38 mpg

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Fuji White

Being used to 60+mpg with my Mercedes C200 I seldom look at fuel computer on the Freelander SD Auto. If you want a car suitable for the job you pay the price.
This weekend I will be driving some 50 miles through Galloway Forrests delivering timing equipment for Merrick Rally. 25 mpg would be good.
Next month on Mull single track roads stop start with passing places much the same.

What I can say is that 2010 SD Auto and Current SD Auto are better on fuel by about 5 mpg than 2008 TD Auto under same circumstances. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.
