Probably unrelated to the clear indicators I have recently fitted to replace the orange lense ones but couldnt believe my mpg today on a trip up to Stoke. 75 mile round trip, about 20 mile A roads and 55 motorway 39.2mpg!!! in an AUTO!!

Best mpg I have acheived in my FL2 in 12 months - at least I have a reason to go to Stoke now!!  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

Well done!

We've just got back from an Easter break in Dumfries and Galloway with the wobbly box and got a respectable 30mpg with our manual. Might also try to better that with clear indicator repeaters. Also available in Clean.

Why is so unbelievable?
The handbook states for Diesel Automatic gearbox an extra-urban fuel consumption of 6.8l/100km, in other words 41.5 mpg...
I believe it's possible if speed was generally below 55mph...

It is a known fact that the clear indicators do not increase the fuel consumption, but without a doubt does increase the pleasure of the Freelys appearance. However, with the increased pleasure of your Freelys appearance, I am sure you will psychologically increase the fuel consumption considerably and hardly ever notice the number of filling station visits  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I've had mine at 37.7 at a constant 60 in 6th. I take it yours is in 6th to get that sort of mpg?? I know it'll take 6th at 55, but it seems to labour the engine, which apparently the auto box cannot do!! It seems the auto is only economic if you drive gently and keep the top speed down  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

I have achieved 38.1 on a run from Preston to Carlisle with Cruise control set at just over 70 Have just fitted a synergy 1 so it will be interesting to see if that can be bettered first impression after a few miles is that I am having to take my foot off the accelarator more often and the car is smmother and def more eager

Synergy 1?!!

It is a tuning box from Tuning Diesels if you google it you should get all the info

Have you noticed any difference in mpg yet?

I think that there is an improvement but to be truthful not a massive one but there again I need to do a run to Preston to my sons and then I will be able to judge better

Hi to all On a long run in my lanndyrovor fl2 Mancester to newcastle 42 mpg and around town 32 mpg, all with in the speed limit, I find that if you read the road ahead and reduce hard braking and fast take off this really dose help your mpg. But auto's will never be as good as a stick shift. Max to a full tank untill the light came on 540 miles.
