I Drove the 6 miles from home to the shops and recorded an average of 26.6 mpg and on my return trip recorded 26.9 mpg, however there may of been a bias in the gradient on the outward journey and a slight deviation in outside temperature. Shocked I think Ill book it in to the dealers tomorrow.

Wales 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Lago Grey

Just done a 200 mile round trip mostly on the motorway, still only reading 27.1 mpg Big Cry

This is the best its been since having the FL2, only has 1200 miles on the clock.

I did notice that the fuel guage didn't go down much so I've convinced myself that the computer is wrong Confused

My calculations worked out about 32 mpg, still wondering where and how to get to the magic figure of 42 mpg Crying or Very sad Lago Grey 2.2 s td4..e

We had it on a test drive a couple of weeks ago, drove across Aberdeen down to catterline then back again, averaged just over 33mpg (better than my FL2 Shocked )

Will get a true reading tomorrow as we're off down to Worcester

Nick,
It's everything I want at the moment, I can talk to it and it even talks back Shocked (the car not the missus Laughing )

Farting airbag Shocked, I'll just blame the missus if I hear anything Laughing ______________________

Dave, I did not not get any request for authorisation for you to enter Worcestershire! I assume you will not be asking for residency or applying for benefits and then going back to the frozen north to spend it Wink Wink Ralph
