Hello there, I am currently a Defender owner at the moment and love my Landies. I am seriously considering moving on to a Range Rover though. Can anyone tell me what the best MPG I would expect to get if cruising at say 60pmh in a TD6.

Thanks Richard

Answer: Nothing like as good as in a TDV8  The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

2006 Td6 - I am getting 28-29 MPG on long cruises. I get 19 MPG in town though...

on a run @ that speed about 25-30 is about right give or take a few variables , and around town i average 20-23 ish , or to put it a different way if i fill up about £80-£100 i get about 400-500 miles to a tank i hope this helps as its only a guide due to too many variable i.e your driving style , wheels / tyres condition of vehicle and so on p.s dont worry about the fuel when your passengers can watch dvd's in the back and your lovely and warm with the heated steering wheel on and you dont have to scrape the snow / ice off the screen because youve had the FBH on it kind of becomes irrelevent youll love it. onto no6 Range Rover

My 4.4 V8 petrol returns 20mpg combined according to the computer but in reality is 18mpg. On the motorway cruising I get an indicated 25mpg which is again probably about 23 or so. Keep diesel for tractors and get yourself a petrol you cant beat the sound and comfort of a pukka V8.

Used to get 25 ish out of my TD6 and drove it like I stole it! also got loads of pleasure bombing past petrol FFRR's at supersonic speeds who were trying their best to get decent MPG. Whats the point having a petrol if you can't afford to run it - unless you fancy gas!!! Otherwise buy a proper V8 a TDV8

P.S. I own both petrol and diesel Range Rovers, and the petrol can be down to 10mpg on short runs driven hard a diesel would still give 23 / 24 mpg.

My figs are all actual mpg worked back from litres used to miles travelled.

i get about 23mpg overall. Discovery 4 HSE

is that cruising at 70/75 or at 95/100 ?

We've just been out on our first proper run and we've averaged 27 on the M40 (70 mile trip). Chrsit knows where they get the claimed 35mpg from
