As above in old posts on here i'd seen that it was a little better for longer journeys but more improved about town due to the quicker lock up and change up on the new 8 speed box.

I've had mine a few months now and unfortuntely I've only got to use it around London and greater London so no motorway miles but the OBC is showing average of 25mpg. I assume that means it will get close to 30 for motorway.

On my commute into leeds which is a mix of country lanes to start and a crawl into the city center I get around 23 in the winter and around 25 in the summer. On a journey down to London from Harrogate I get around 32 going 70-80. If you dropped into the 60's you could get 35 but go above 85 and the economy drops right off. My driving style is pretty relaxed so I don't think I could get a lot more than that without falling asleep at the wheel 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

After 18 months my average is 20 mpg but the car spends most of its time towing 2200kg of caravan.

Ok, first off, do not believe what the OBC says about average mileage. On my 2012 RR, the OBC would have me doing an average of upwards of 27.5 mpg with the occasional 30mpg outing.

Running around locally 28, motorway speeds 👻 29 and conservative driving on m'way 35 is possible. She is only ticking over at approx 1500 revs at 70! And from memory 2k at 100. No wonder LR limit it to 130, at 4k she would in theory be doing 200 mph |

Yeah i think it might get to 160-170 before aerdynamics vs raw torque win over FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I do a 90 mile daily commute, mainly A roads and motorway, plus local short trips at the weekends. In my 3.6 I averaged around 25-26mpg, in the 4.4 it's been 31mpg for the last 2k miles. This is according to the mpg meter. I am not light footed, I drive 'normally', and when safe tomdo so I make good progress, paricularly on motorways. Both were/are JE remapped. MY23 D350 HSE

33 mpg for first 9,500 miles in mine. Mix of city and motorway at all times of day. I don't have a heavy right foot though. |

Quick calculation based on ltrs used and miles driven suggests I averaged a real world 29.5mpg last week over 500 miles. Not too dissimilar from the tacho reading. MY23 D350 HSE
