United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Corris Grey

After waiting until the "fuel crisis" was over before filling up at the weekend (having been able to eek-out on the 1/4 tank I had left and using our other car in-between) I was amazed after starting up to see the Range indicate almost 700 miles Shocked

I know I had been driving a bit more conservatively recently, but still was astonished at that range forecast. Previous best had been 620 miles. And I always fill to first cut-off, and then dribble more until a few more times just to make sure it is really full Smile Current

I seem to get around 33 to 34 on a decent run on the motorways but that drops when I hit the a roads and perhaps enjoy the car a little more enthusiastically… 2017 SDV8 SV Autobiography ('67)

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Orkney Grey

(2012 tdv8 4.4)
I had all day to do a 500 mile round trip, so decided to challenge myself to some conservative driving, so as soon as I hit the motorway, I hit the trip A button, and kept to a steady 70, sometimes slightly under, no 3rd lane, no cruise, and had no traffic either.... I was seeing 45 mpg after about 50 miles.... and by the time I had got off Mway, and did about 10 miles town driving, then back onto Mway, and all the way home, I was still at 42mpg. had another long trip two days later, and left it, (no reset) and dropped to 40 mpg. I never tend to do the 'brim-the tank' method, and realise the trip meter is inaccurate, but it was encouraging to see these numbers, after a few years with my previous petrol version, always starting with a '1'. the 2012 4.4 tdv8, is a legend of an engine, and I can't see myself thinking one another car choice, for quite some time.

Looking for my first FFRR but the ULEZ is being expanded to the whole of London, meaning the L322 is not compliant. So it will likely be a 5.0SC
Pity

England 2018 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Corris Grey

I've just landed back from a 150m roundtrip, mainly motorways but both journeys had periods of standing/slow traffic, I managed 38mpg going and 40 on the way back

Very impressed with that. First time FFRR owner

United States 2006 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Buckingham Blue

2016 TD6 - 100K Donna the Diesel

October 5
I did not record the stats, but 27.35 Miles/US GAL * 20% for Imperial and you get 32.82
That is actual Math(s) - not the dash, which is slightly higher.
We have a few giant fuel stops called Buc-ee's that are out of Texas (of course) Cheap Fuel!
Paid $3.50/US Gal

November 1
I was just above the 1/4 tank on the gauge - that I don't trust...
511.2 miles on 19.13 'Merica Gallons. Math(s) = 26.72 MPG in probably 60/40 Highway driving.
In Atlanta, nothing is ever truly Highway driving... so let's call it mixed. Add 20% = 32.06
Diesel was $3.39/US Gal

I work from home, and usually save Donna the Diesel for longer runs.
Col Reb is the short run around town truck and he averages 16.3 (19.56 Imperial) according to the dash computer, but I don't think I have ever reset it... Next tank, I will do the math(s). 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

 Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

TDV6 averages 35mpg on the daily commute - pretty good I think.


That can’t be all town driving? Our 2017 TDV6 gets around 28.5 by the “BTT” and calculator method, as Chalky says above, the in-car display can be very naughty Whistle

We get about 36mpg on a leisurely Sunday lunch outing to a country pub, with SWIMBO driving (of course, no point going to the pub and driving myself, is there? Laughing )
It may just be possible to get 40mpg (TDV6) but do you really want a long queue of angry peeps behind you? Shocked

Not too many V6’s posting in this thread, c’mon folks……. What do YOU get? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I get similar, if I'm travelling on a business trip I am never in a rush so can mooch around at 60-65mph and get high 30s to very low 40s real mpg. A tank with a mix of works and social driving generally gets a real world 33-38mpg. The on board generally over reads by 2mpg. First time FFRR owner
