2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Izmir Blue

mpg

I had a 62 plate HSE auto this week. A courtesy car from Hunters with only 1900 on the clock. Had a shortish M1 trip, and playing about with it, i found a needle's width off 70 and it was showing 40---42 mpg. I thought that was pretty good.

2012 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Orkney Grey

1800 rpm seems to be best at whatever speed that selects on the road. Seems to be 68 mph on motorways. TD4 auto.

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Sumatra Black

Mine does around 34 mpg which is not driving slowly, My other 4x4 does around 22 mpg so the mpg of the Freelander is pretty impressive to me Black FL2

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Narvik Black

Think my MPG sensor thingy must be knackard like.

Drove to Leeds over Xmas from Durham, roads were quite so stuck to an average of 65-70mph and did a 140 mile rond trip. The car still reads 26.3 MPG

.............and yes I do realise there is 6 gears in a Freelander
