Real MPG D4 - 3+ years in

thought I would share this as my D4 HSE just went over 100K miles (although the engine was changed at 60K miles for a brand new dealer fitted genuine LR) - these are actual real numbers, not the LR fiction from the dash.

since October 2019

41560 miles
£0.227 per mile (average £1.475 per litre)
6469 litres

Average MPG 29.51

pretty happy with the MPG, thats a true mix of urban, rural and motorway, and is in daily use.

Not so happy when I multiply the 41560 x 0.227 Smile giving a grand total of £9434.12 spent on diesel so far!

But they aren't built for economy, we all know that!

I use an app called Road Trip LE by the way to record this every time I fill up.

Anyone else got real comparable figures?

United Kingdom 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

I used to use an app, but found it wasn't transferable when I changed my phone Mad

I have always kept a book in each car I've had though, and when I remember I transfer the numbers to a spreadsheet.

I've had this D3 since 2015, and it's averaged 26.08 mpg. Total of £15,253 spent on diesel Shocked .

The cheapest fuel I've bought for the Disco was £1.009/litre Feb 2016, and the most expensive was £1.999/litre July 2022

Edit - 67k miles done

With the motorway MPG it can't be that more expensive to run a V8 over a TDV6 with the price difference between petrol and diesel. Down here in the Solent Delta, diesel is approx 22p/litre more expensive.

I'm sure someone who is more mathematically minded than me can work where the breakeven point would be.
 Cheers,

Don’t know how you guys do it, I’m a very steady driver, most journeys are around 15 miles into town and 40% is 30/40mph limit, the most I can achieve is 22mpg, there must be something wrong with mine Big Cry

It certainly isn't a cheap car to run but looking at it as a Swiss-army-knife 2.5 ton+ 4WD 7 seater come transit van, the MPG is pretty good considering!

I did finally find the eco-mode on these... terrain response Grass/Gravel/Snow - keeps the MPG from dipping too much in the winter months as it makes you drive like a nun!

Edit: Calculated MPG from a spreadsheet I’ve been maintaining and getting 26.7 mpg over the last year. I’ve mellowed out in my driving style so getting high 20s consistently but driving at autobahn speeds few times a year kills the average.
