Would I be right in thinking that a 2004, 4.4 FFRR would average about 17ish MPG driven steady?

And the TD6 would be about 25ish


I have been looking for a FFRR TD6 but can not fine a clean one, so it is looking like I might try the petrol route and see if I can find a clean car.


Thanks Richard...

I've got the 4.4 and around town you are looking about 14-15 but on a run about 20mpg maybe a little more

My computer usually averages 17-18mpg per tank. I run on LPG at every opertunaity. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

If something can't be fixed with a hammer....... You have yourself an electrical fault!

24-25 around town in my TD6 and 30-32 on a run

If you are after a nice clean 4.4 then you should look at Gazellio, he buys the very best cars out there, he has a lovely Autobiography 4.4 right now.

I do mostly medium distance runs in mine - work is 69 miles each way - Along A5 and A14 and I get 21 to 22 MPG on that run each day - but I only have to slow down about twice on the run and the rest of the time is steady 65 - 80mph - depending on traffic and slow morons in outside lane...

Any tips on how you get them TD6 figures? I'm lucky to see 18 around town and 23 on a run....

Petrol is a lot quieter inside - and sounds like a Range Rover and not a Massey Feguson...

The TD6 always sounds like it's about to throw a rod!

<ducks>

@mr blonde, blank your egr valve , 3/4 mpg increase.....


@simes, another reason why should sell my td6 and get a v8..  ... - .- -.

Do it, Stan.

I'm getting 18.4mpg on mixed A and B roads with the odd few miles of dual carriageway, averaging 32mph.

That's on a work route of 15 miles each way, twice a day, 5 days a week.

I try not to drive too hard as there's little point, but my mood often necessitates the odd squirt of throttle to get past the plebians in lesser cars.

On the one long-ish trip I've done since owning a FFRR of 70 miles on the M4, M25 and M1, I got almost 21mpg.

Our E55 by comparison (AMG 5.5 V8 blah-blah...) does 20mpg and 26mpg respectively on the same routes, so I think the RR does pretty well considering the bulk, 4wd and aerodynamics.

All figures quoted using V-Power. Si. <This is my name.
