Real world mpg

Si4 - 900km's (±560 miles) into ownership, 12.4l/100km (±23 mpg) since I took delivery. Best I saw on a >50km (±30 mile) trip was 9.9l/100km (±28mpg).

Nowhere near LR's official figures but then again it may have something to do with the driver

oh jeez, thats criminal. I was hoping for far better with my Si4, early days i suppose

Checked this afternoon and after about 500 miles I'm averaging just over 30 mpg

3000 miles and averaging 38 mpg on sd4 manual - been doing a lot of driving

Oh dear, I was kinda hoping for nearer the 40's!

I was banking on about 42mpg based on combined advertised 44mpg
I hope as mileage increases then so will mpg.

Mine has only increased by about 2 mpg in 3000 miles but I do have a heavy right foot

I am getting about 20 to 22 around town SI4,hoping Land Rover getting a software update to bring the mpg near to 30mpg.

I'm now getting about 32-33 mpg around town which is a marked improvement frm the 29 I was getting initially

In my SD4 manual I've tested on a couple of trips:

600 miles on motorway at average of 74mph (according to trip computer) and other than speed, I took it pretty easy on acceleration: avg 33.5mpg. However, I did have a passenger, two kids, a few bags in the boot and there was a reasonable headwind for half the journey.

30 miles on dual-carriageway average of 68mph (on trip computer) and being light on acceleration: avg 40mpg

100 miles around town (including some dual-carriageway at 70-75mph): 35mpg.

Still a long way off the official figures and hopefully I can adapt my driving style to keep around the high 30's to 40mpg mark on most journeys.
