D3 - 6 speed manual 3200.84 gallons over 81,716 miles = 25.5 mpg
D3 was chipped by Pete Bell of BAS - both were/are driven fast, but not hard - lots of anticipation, no excessive braking. I get over 50k mile to a set of 4 GG ATs.
Oil changes at half LR recommended intervals, and generally obsessive maintenance.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
Just to go off track a little , I am very upset with my new Galaxy it is only doing 43 mpg on the motorway Would this be because its new ? Will it get better ?The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

Taliban chasing you will have that effect.
That D3 was a dog - it could hardly get out of its own way. The altitude and weight did it no favours and the 2 air filters a day was akin to a drug habit.
It was my own D3 that was a most comfortable ride at 300mph+.
