You can rotate it in your gallery Thumbs Up

I get between 21-26 ... Been tracking it on an app over the last couple of years.

Best I've got from a tank full is 26.63
Worst is 19.27 mpg per tank

And yes the lie 'o' meter can be a bit optimistic

I find ignorance is bliss, but when I was not in blissful ignorance it was 30mpg on average. Over 3000 miles of which 50% was towing it fell to 23mpg. Take off 2mpg to get to true figure. Damn, wish I had not reminded myself Sad

I reckon, probably, towing and around town an average of 21 or 22 ish. On a mid-length trip on A/B roads, probably upper 20s, good motorway run low 30s. I can probably reach a genuine 35 on a long motorway economy run with two-stroke.

Overall average I think somewhere about 24-26 but I've never really gone into the full detail.

(Bear in mind, mine is remapped with an Allisport intercooler and EGRs blanked.)

I tend to drive mine like I stole it! So not very good but on a regular run to Essex at 102 miles each way I get an average of 29! At the end of the day I never bought this for the MPG

Wales 2005 Discovery 3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Fairly robust driving and I get 14.8mpg measured not dash figures (that shows 16.9) ........... but that's on LPG at 54.9p a litre so for the cost of a gallon of diesel I can do 32.4 miles and the grin factor of the V8.

I get 33 mpg displayed when doing long easy journeys at 60 mph on good A-roads. Add in some hills, headwinds, twisty roads, motorways and towing, however, and it comes down to 28 averaged over the tank. Repeated cold starts are a killer! Thumbs Up
 Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

Hmm, average since owned 25.99, including long runs, round town and towing, best 29.36, worst 21.54. But didn't buy to worry about the mpg, the permagrin outweighs the fuel cost Very Happy
