Evenin all - just wondering what other sort of fuel consumption folks were getting from their TD4's - mines an 06 Auto and I normally return about 380 miles from a full 60 litre tank - i refitted Roverrons box and changed the setting to #5 and am amazed at the difference - I am on 430 miles from a tank and the low fuel light has just started to flicker on - this includes a potter across the Elan Valley, town driving and a couple of hundred motorway miles - even popped it into 'Sports Mode' a couple of times.

I wouldn't say I have been deliberately cautious but the setting lends itself to being light-footed, any urge to press down on the right hand pedal is soon followed by an easing off as the power kicks in.

Not saying that the FL is by any means a quick car but the box certainly helps - got me thinking how much more quicker / economical it would be in 2WD hmmmmmm
 
fuuny that, i can get 400 out of a tank in my disco, and the doris gets 400 out of the tank in her polo ;)
 
Hi outlander,

I do some 31 to 33 mpg with my MY01 Td4 auto. (but mainly driving local trips).

Some advice from a non-technical person though, try not to drive it until the tanklow light lits up, it's better to fill it up when still 1/3rd or 1/4th fuel in the tank, this to avoid you suck possible dirt into the lines, it also helps your fuelpump by the downforce of the fuelweight.
 
I get 35-40 MPG td4 auto not light footed the 40mpg is motoway driving with the cruse on a bout 70mph also got a go faster gismo fitted ,it twas after that the mpg improved. . .:)
 
Does the 'box' really make that much difference? I have had my TD4 auto from end June and have never got better than 32 mpg with an average of 31 mpg. The green trip mpg figures below were all mainly motorway (2nd row is wrong!) All the following fill ups have been to the fuel cut off point which I think is a reasonably accurate way to measure consumption.

Currently on Test TD4 auto 2002

31mpg on pre Rover ron

Awaiting tank full after Rover ron :)

last car 2.0 Focus Ghia 25 - 28MPG
 
On a recent trip round South Wales my TD4 04 plate done 458 from a full tank down to being just off the fuel light.
 
My 2003 TD4 manual comfortably does 500 miles from every tank. That's about 39mpg on average by my reckoning. Mostly to and from work with a mix of dual carriageways and urban roads. Does help that I work shifts and rarely travel in the rush hour.

Cheers

mines a 53 td4 auto commercial, and consistently getting around 31 mpg. Does about 340 from full to a quarter, then takes about £50 to fill her up.
