Currently on 33mpg overall. (I do tow a tintent on occasion which brings down the average) Being sad I use the web to monitor it as I did my previous car . See sig below 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

I too get around 33mpg on local trips but more on a motorway keeping to the speed limit I can add about another 7/8 mpg at least

Realspeed[/code] Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

39.1 overall at the moment, manual 2007 GS. Mostly tootling around quiet A roads, not many motorways round here. I do have to overtake a lot in the summer though, blooming caravans

Last tank 40.3 MPG and overall average using tank fill-ups and miles travelled = 38.5 (trip computer readings average 40)
Total miles 65000 since June 08
Best tank brim to brim 43.65 (trip computer said less, for once at 42.1)
Worst tank brim to brim 32.79 (trip said 33.5)
Lots of motorway commuting in my freelance consultancy work
V-Power Diesel marginally better economy but definitely more spritely response. Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red
Gone... 2008 (09MY) XS Td4 Manual Stornaway Grey
Prior... 2003 G4 Discovery 2, 1998 Disco 1 and 1997 Disco 1 Company car before that
Also gone in Nov'13, after 7.5 yrs, to new owners with time for more TLC - 1980 Series III 88
Current 2015 Discovery Sport HSE 2.0

Day to day, around the doors 34-36mpg. Newcastle-Birmingham-Newcastle at legal limit gave exactly 40mpg. Not at all bad for its size and streets ahead of my last two cars, XJ8 4.0 and 4.2 and just a little better in the snow.

Something must be wrong with my 2.2 diesel auto, computer shows 30.4mpg average but my calculations show Im geting about 22mpg, 120 miles out of £40 and £1.41 per litre??

I am relying on the computer but I will check over the next week or so from brim to brim and post the results. Manual xs 2011 7000mls

winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race

The reason I was watching this thread was because, when looking to buy my freelander, I wanted to know what mpg might I get?
Thanks to other peoples posts I had an indication what to expect, steered clear of an auto, and I am just adding my observations and results. Which for the record are impressive.

Surely the whole point of a forum is that interested parties can post/discuss topics that are for the most point maybe boring for others?

I'm quite happy discussing stuff like MPG and fuel maps etc. You should hear me yacking on about multiple constellation GPS and autosteer guidance systems LOL

Re MPG, my FL2 manual on HSE rims/tyres nearly at 10k has averaged 33.05 over 1300 miles including 500 miles of fast motorway (clearly not exceeding national limits !), 300 miles of towing (1.5t) and mixed commute and around the doors. Using Road Trip rather than trip computer.

I was up on some hill roads around Errochty and Calvine at the weekend and tested the car's ability on snow and icy - very impressed. Alot better than my D3 with similar tyres.

agreed, helps people judge real life MPG, as we all know the LR published ones are fictional

29K/13 months old. I've averaged 42MPG overall. Very pleased with the economy. 100 mile commute daily with mostly motorway but 30 miles of rural roads. MPG plummets below 5c though

One week of an 8 mile commute in the i6? 18.1 mpg....
