Hi guys,
New member and 1st post !!
This is also my first experience of land rover.
I have just bought an 06 plate TD4 Sport auto 5 door, and I am a bit scunnered at the poor economy / mpg.
I appreciate there are many posts on this issue, and driving styles etc can have an impact etc.
However I am just about to fill up for the fourth time, the first 2 tanks (13 gallon) returned approx 380 miles, therefore just short of 30 pmg !!
The first tank was mostly motorway driving @ 70mph, the second was local short journeys, schoolrun etc.
On the third tank however with a mix of both short journeys and motorway driving I have only managed to rack up 280 miles, again a 13 gallon fill, and therefore approx 21.5 mpg !!
Any suggestions as to influincies would be greatly appreciated.
I am technically "dum" when it comes to under the bonnet practices.
Am I wrong to expect a better return than I have achieved ?
Cheers
Docksy
