Commuting most of the time I used to get above 600 from my Td6 all the time.
To fill up was always around 100 litres though, currently about 125 pounds. If you are putting in 110 pounds, you'll get less.

Most of the people here seem to get less mpg than I did.
Guess I am a plodder...

Was fractionally over 30mpg average.
Now in a TDV8 averaging 29mpg.

I am usually a plodder too, but my 8 mile commute takes around 40 minutes, so real stop start for half of it at least. Never have i managed to get better than 20mpg, apart from a trip to scotland when i managed 29mpg. Let's just say it wasn;t at 56mph though, and it was more than 69mph


Reading some other threads, there is some mention of the gearbox possibly needing to be reset. If this is true, and it learns your driving style, then i may need to do it. The previous owner spent most of his time on motorways. Apologies if i've posted this on my phone and it contains strange spelling and punctuation.. i just can't be bothered to correct it

We generally average 20mpg out of our 4.4 V8 petrol and only occasionally drop bellow 500 miles per tank. We mostly do motorway miles but there is some rural driving mixed in.

Is there a specific reason for using Super?

About 460 per tank, computer says average 21mpg, mostly town. 2004 black Vogue TD6

Usually 350ish miles per tank with lots of slow stop start commuting interspersed with solid pedal-carpet interface when clear- idiosyncratic at best. I got the S/C for the smile it can generate moving >2.5tonnes around reasonably easily... until I can afford the 5l!

Have had about 400-420 on several motorway trips.

Can't really say I am that bothered although the 4.4TDV8 is a pretty impressive compromise.

Generally i only do about 8-10,000 miles per year so it's not going to break the bank anyhow.

Having said that it's going in on Monday for Leaking rear diff and temperamental PDC function so it may well get the match if there's too many complications.

When I brim fill the 4.2SC with fuel, the trip computer reads "Range 420 miles". I also zero the trip on the odo. The low fuel light comes on around the 300-320 mile point and the range reads 50. I have managed to get to over 400 miles on the odo only once in three years of ownership.

Computer says I get just sub 18mpg.

My Odo is showing 19mpg on the 4.2SC which I am happy with for such an engine and drive response. Mostly motorway driving though and a bit around town. I do get frustrated with filling stations that only allow 60-80litres per fill when I need 100litres to fill up. Current MY2020

A fill up costs approx £115 and to be honest lifes too short to get worked up about what miles it gives ,but when i do look out of curiosity i manage around 400 is which justifies it to me a little and makes me feel less guilty.However on the plus side you are driving about in one of the best vehicles in town and as i said earlier lifes too short ...so enjoy the small pleasures in life...dont forget there are others who only get to drive pretend 4x4!

This is what I need to think. Before I got my FFRR I drove a 1.9tdi Audi A4. It cost £80 to fill up and would get me 600 miles per tank. I always knew I would be cutting that in half with the FFRR. But who cares, I've had it for 3 days and love it to bits.

My mpg is way down to 13.9 at the minute, been using the car quite a bit with the snow, mostly to just mess about and going exploring, plus using it for work between appointments so it's all been short trips. Last time I filled it, I managed about 400 miles from a tank driving normally.

I did however see the dizzy heights of 22mpg on a >70mph run from Aylesbury to home, (about 300 miles) I'm off down Birmingham next April so I'll experiment then with careful driving then, unless I have to do any other long trips in the meantime. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

Best I've done on a full tank, before I got scared of running out was 476 miles, but I reckon on about 520 miles if I was brave (a bit like Clarkson's Jag). This averaging 40mph over two weeks - 30mph, 40 mph, 50 mph and 70 mph speed zones, mostly at commuting times. .

I'm getting around 13mpg at the moment on LPG, no matter whether I'm on local runs or motorway, I'm not really happy with this since I am expecting more like 15-18 on longer runs considering I'm not putting the right foot down hard, but intending to get the LPG serviced to try to improve it. Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

When I brim out my tank the computer shows 520 miles plus, best I saw was 610 miles

On a recent all motorway trip, got the miles done, and miles left in tank upto 620 miles
(Shame I can't get that around town)

Incidentally, My suspension is stuck in normal road height, so not being able to lower at motorway speeds seems to have affected my mpg....
