Hello
Only third go on here
Having purchased a 11 plate Freelander 2 sd4 Auto HSE recently and it stopped with a broken sender unit before I got to the bottom of my first tank
It had recorded 31.4 mpg whilst driving normal roads before it weren't in for repairs
I was going to do a tank by selecting manual mode to see if I could improve on 31.4 mpg

What do you experts think,

Has anybody tried it
Any other tips you recomend

Regards

very difficult to maximise mpg with an auto as you don't have any control of engine speed/torque, etc

just take it easy with the right foot on the gas pedal !!

I'm on my second SD4, 31.5 round town and general runs is spot on for what I am getting, had a run up to Carlisle and back today, managed 39 on the run, cruise set at 70 most of way there and back.

For excellent mpg I recommend a small diesel Euro box and not a Land Rover  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

Yeah swap it for a manual. 47.4 averaged over 200 mile + trip . My previous FL2was-an auto and they do have a thirst Jaguar x-type sport gone
Jaguar x-type 2.2d sport one of my best cars ever sadly gone
Freelander 2 GS auto 2008 most unreliable ever ! gladly gone
Freelander 2 GS manual 2013 only time will tell !
