Real world mpg

2000 Miles done and it seems to be settling down to an average 39mpg, although most of these miles are long trips in excess of 200 miles each way with average speeds of 65-75mph. Personally I dont think it will ever reach the "quoted" figures as published by LR.

Longish trip this weekend, 80 miles each way. still 35 bloody mpg.

Was across hartside pass and mainly rurla roads but i wasnt exactly gunning it!

Had a Courtesy RRE on Friday - an SD4 manual which had done 1500 miles on collection - and did 255 miles in the day, of which approx 200 miles motorway and 55 miles A roads with some heavy traffic. Averaged 42mpg.

My first long drive is planned for this week, around 550 miles in total with majority being the M1. Car is currently around the 1760 miles since new so will report when we get back home what the overall figure mpg wise is. To be honest if it’s any more than 31 mpg in the previous car then it’s a plus for me, never the substantially increased ride comfort... i should be pleased regardless.

do you know something?

Perhaps JLR might give us all a free remap if we moan enough? might get better economy then?

On my third tank now, managed an average of 10.0L/100Km. Seems to be getting better, average on current tank is 9.5L/100Km.

Just completed my first tankful and fill up (800 done - dealer put some diesel in so I started measuring when I topped up)

Journey included a trip to Bristol and a trip to the Cotswolds (cruise set to 80 most of the way)from Mid Sussex - average on trip computer = 36.3 mpg (hit 40 at one point), excel spreadshet calculated at 36.1

Happy with that for the first measurement

After 3000 miles in an Si4:

Average speed: 32 mph
Consumption: 21.9 mpg

3200 miles and now at 36.1mpg
