Just returned from a week and half holiday with no charging facilities and pleased to report the petrol consumption wasn't as bad as I feared

278 miles sightseeing in the Cotswolds on rural roads 34 mpg fill to fill - best day was 41 mpg with 5 adults and dog on 40 mile trip

210 mile trip home yesterday cruising at 70 mostly motorways showed 38 mpg which should be accurate from figures I've seen so far

I've done 5000 miles now and this is first time I've been without electric and these are worst figures I've seen but still better than any diesel I've owned

It was also very comfortable

I'd like to test drive a LR petrol hybrid or phev when I'm ready to change to tempt me back subject to price and build quality but I'm finished with diesel  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

The point is this is the first time in 5 months I've not had electric and my average mpg before this was 87 mpg

My DS average for 9 months was 35 mpg
