Got a 4.4 v8 range 2002. OBD reads 14.8! But I dont run it on petrol alot
Get a calculated 13.2 from LPG but I only pay 67p a litre so at petrol around here at £1.35 and doozil at £1.42. It works put to better than half price.
On equivalent I get about 26.5 and that's lots of town driving. About 36 on motorway run
I'm prety happy with that

2001 TD4 manual- 78,000 miles. Average 35 mpg on recent trip across the country at an indicated 80mph along M4. Covered Swindon back to Mid Sussex in 2 hours. I have done this journey in an Audi A4 Avant and Mazda MX5 1.8 before, but Freelander is much more relaxed and comfortable.

TD4 auto 98k - just recorded worse i'e ever had out of it 24mpg local only just over 300 to a tank. Best I get is 34 on a long run.
ERG disconnected last year but first winter without it - wonder if it impacting. Runs really well so not sure if there is a prob.

Something wrong there - I am getting 37 regularly in my TD4 that has a faulty over fueling injector but before I did lots of other things it was just 30mpg. One thing that made a big difference was changing the crank case filter for the BMW one at the same time an oil and filter change for fully synthetic Mobile 3000 oil.
I have also done the EGR bypass and fitted a Synergy2 although due to the injector have it switched off.
I am not a slow coach in it either but equally don't wring it's neck!!!

New SD4 190 hp auto, now just got 5,000 on the clock.
40 on a run. 20/25 local.
It was a toss up over the top model FL or the base model Disco. I thought the FL would be much better on fuel, so chose that one. Just wonder what the new Disco would have done - around the same maybe?.

3 Door L series, Decat, reworked internal ecu map, larger airbox with pipercross filter, 2.5inch ss exhaust system, ported and polished exhaust elbow, internal polished turbo hot and cold side housing, port matched and polished inlet system, larger fmic, higher flow injector nozzles (pop balanced), boost set at 19 psi max for power or 15psi for economy and a few other minor mods. I get mixed tank to tank driving average 38mpg's. If i drive gently I can get this up to 42 mpg. I probebly could get more if the vcu was not slowly on its way out, or I converted to 2wd.
Well chuffed with the little l series

how you are supposed to do it to brim tank set trip to zero and when you are ready brim tank again the check trip meter and work it out from there you will then get a acuate figuar of what you are doing to the gallon remebering there is 4.555 ltr to the gallon hope this helps

This is a very good method if you don't have a sat-nav.
I use 1:4.545 as a conversion factor but these days I mostly prefer working in litres/100km.
It's easy with a sat-nav to zero the distance and then check it when you brim the tank. Most sat-navs are very accurate and that way any speedo error is ruled out - as is having a non-standard tyre size, which can throw off a speedo.
