I have been checking the OBC against the phone app I use (road trip) and I have found the OBC to always be within +/- 1 mpg

I may check the MPG when I frist get a new car, then that's it. I just keep it on the range setting, other wise it would drive me potty. Last time I checked it 32-35 MPG around town going to work 38-42 MPG that's on a 57 manual.

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Indus Silver

Recently had a couple of runs from Hampshire up to Lancashire in my 07 SE manual. Quite surprised to see average consumption as 42.5 mpg over 255 miles on one trip and 39+ on second, with cruising at close to 70 mph (average speed showed as 60mph over the whole trip - mostly A34/motorway). Normally average between 35 and 37 when knocking around but only about 23-25 with 1550kg trailer! Total mileage now 54k. Have definitely noticed a small increase in mpg since changing to V-Power diesel (at least enough to make me feel it is worth paying the extra). I guess the driving style is quite significant as the 'Clog & Anchor' brigade are never going to stand a chance with fuel frugality whereas those who read the traffic ahead are more likely to reap the benefits.

2011 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Fuji White

Our sd4 is now 7 months old and we put just under 6k miles on it.

At one end of the scale, I've seen 35+mpg on long uncongested runs - feel this could be higher, but I like to make use of the 190PS.

At the other end, since swmbo starting using the car for pre-school runs (Grandpa's car was written off in an accident Sad - and new ones not due till end of year) which entails a 2 minute drive from a cold start twice a day, were seeing as low as 16mpg - I doubt the poor engine even gets up to running temp on these runs Sad

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Zermatt Silver

Just went on a 60 mile round trip this morning, started with a full tank and cleared the computer which showed 24 mpg as the "other half's" typical milage over the last tank, basically doing short shopping runs. With 60 miles of A road ( Halifax to Coniston Cold and back) using "Sport Mode" and dispatching the Keighly by pass at 85 mph and kicking down past everything on the A65 to amuse my 18 year old I was very pleased to see 34 mpg, not shabby for 2tonnes gross weight with the aero-dynamics of a shed and an autobox Mr. Green 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
