perhaps having one has clouded your judgement ?

it wasn't aimed at you, you appear to know you've not bought the best LR product, and you seem to be accepting it
unlike the numpty who is arguing in favour of ..... well whatever

Yeah Sean, but I've just bloody purchased it!! That means I am probably going to lose a lot of money on it? It seems a shame as it is lovely to drive (okay.....don't start again you lot!!!).
I paid £5k for it too

I'm not failing to realise that the ones who are commenting on burning or selling it are not actually answering the op question and should be part of the community.
some good reading here, don't take my word for it

I'm takin' great offense at the Jeep comment 'cause I've been associated with many of 'em, and they ain't one of 'em a Freelander.

I’m back
i have the wife owned one so yes i can offer my advicePetrol is better than doozle IMHO I have one, it pulls like a train and does about 30 mpg.
Doozle is underpowered smelly and slow, it also costs a fortune when it goes wrong.
Drive one, a good one, before offering advice
.
and i stand by the diesal is way better than the petrol and doesnt cost any more to repair than the petrol

On the contrary - if it's an expensive problem to come - and we don't know if it is or isn't, cutting your losses whilst unpalatable could be an option.
Certainly no harm in at least being aware what those firms that advertise might offer.
If the guys are right about the head gaskets, might be a decision the OP keeps in mind if she encounters problems
All that said, I feel genuinely sad if she has made a mistake - none of us can lose that sort of money

to answer the OP's original Q - as has already been done - 18-20MPG is the norm in the UK for a 2.5 Gaylander. It is, however a notoriously unreliable vehicle and due to its many inbuilt design faults, can be very expensive. Some peeps have, however, managed to get a good one. Lots on here have had their fingers (and other anatomical parts) severely burnt.
You (the OP) have several choices....
1) keep it and pray
2) keep it and be prepared to spend a lot of money on it
3) sell it before any problems occur.
4) keep it, spend lots on it and then sell it, incurring a loss.
