As its a freelander,
1. When towing, you are restricted to a maximum speed of 50mph on single carriageway roads, and 60mph on dual carriageways and motorways
Any faster and you risk the Freelander weight in the trailer causing problems.

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

55-60mph. Same for most motors. Best mpg and some mild progress. Boring as sin though/quite relaxing depending on your view point. Find a nice lorry to tuck up behind and jobs a good un.
 
I remember reading somewhere that cars are designed for best efficiency to be driven at 56 mph. If the efficiency was any higher then driving around town would be mega inefficient and any lower and driving on a motorway would be mega inefficient. So gear settings, wheel sizes etc are designed to give best economy at 56 mph. In response to ops original question

When you post on the "random post" post your post should always be post the original posters post. Otherwise your post will be the original post therefore you are the "random poster".
 
or if I drive at 60 mph how many miles will I cover in one hour ;);):)

plus for the best mpg make sure ur tyres are pumped up, any flat spots should go to the top
