42mpg....I wish. My journeys can be as little as 1-2miles or like tonight where I drive 45 miles, but it took 3 hours!!!

Thank goodness for my new TomTom 6000 which routed me round Epsom or I'd still be in a queue! :lol:

My average is 33mpg.
Best so far has been a 400 mile journey at 40mpg. I've done a few improvements since then.

But it is a TD4 Auto.
 
I was set on getting an auto, but I'm glad I got the manual. Until I get stuck in traffic of course... but I do miss the economy (and speeeeed) of my 180bhp Golf. Oh, it was 180 for a while, and my god it was worth it, but then the head gasket started to leak and then....... ah, well, on it's last trip I got 75mpg coming back from Oxford. Best ever..

Somethings are surprising though. I had a 3.2 V8 Jag that did 32mpg and a 328 BMW cabrio which returned 34mpg on a 90mph burn down to Spain and back. A lot is down to the driver I reckon. I don't hang about but I'm quite light footed with it. My 1.8 Mk1 MX5 was lucky to hit 30mpg, but I ragged it EVERYWHERE! So endeth the lesson.
 
it cost me £27:99 to fill the tamk upto day for a round trip to southhampton trip computer said 57 mpg at one point in the 50 average speed limit zone it was doing 61 mpg, oh the mother inlaws honda jazz :p:p:p:p i drive a 4.6 can only dream of mpg like that :D if the weather had been bad i woulda taken mine her little jazz cripples my back, knees and shoulders .:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi
 
lol, when we lived in Croydon I had a D1 300TDI, loved it and got 30MPG on a run which I didn't think was to bad. When we moved over here petrol was really cheap, so got ourselves a V8 - which was fun until petrol prices headed skyward and the repair bills even more so. Outed that for a diesel Freelander - I'll take 40MPG any day!

Looking at those scarey F2 diesel figures though, think I'll be staying F1 for quite a while! Mind you, if you were caught doing 80MPH over here, they'd lock you up and throw the key away. 60's the limit - not 61 or 62 - its 60!!!! (actually 100KMH)
 
Did a nice long drive this weekend to the parents (approx 150 miles each way) and it appears to have averaged around 40mpg+

Which was nice
 
2002 TD4 3 door 136000 on clock new injectors month ago tube of 2stroke added every tank Calais to Castellon 763 miles using Clermont Milau bridge route 70mph + or -2 to 5mph fuel consumption 39.7mpg
 
First Freelander 1 so checked fuel consumption over a 400 mile period of both town and open road driving, very surprised and pleased to discover it's averaging 39 MPG
 
2004 TD4 5 door, with a mixture of commuting and motorway driving. Readings taken from full tank to full tank, I now have two data points: 37.6mpg and 37.8mpg or 14p/mile pretty good really for a massive heavy 4x4 ;)

Fuel consumption increasing. About 28mpg from last full tank, motorways and A roads. So far about 24mpg in current tank. Not happy with that at all.
 
2001 TD4 auto 3D only had it about a month getting 33MPG mainly town driving with a 40mile motorway run once a week doing around 150 miles a week... good figures compared to the Terrano T2 I had before...it to was a 3dr auto.
 
Frequent short trips in my 05 Freelander TD4 Auto - circa 28mpg
In my V8 SIIA Lightweight - er! - 10 - 12 Mostly on bloomin' choke
