So 10 litres shy of the current model and apparently better mpg. Can't really see an issue tbh. Land Rover Addict

20 litres shy of the current 4.4 TDV8. The fuel consumption increase isn't that much better to justify the reduction in fuel tank size IMO. |

I'm not sure why this would be an issue ?

It's probably part of the plan too try and make it lighter so as to help being the mpg up.

Does anyone actually fill their FFRR to the top every time they get fuel? The most I have ever done is maybe 3/4. Mostly just over 1/2 each time. No shortage of garages round here. It must effect fuel consumption lugging an extra 1/2 tank around if not needed. Previously..

Brim it everytime when i fill up and yes there is a 50kg difference between 2/4-4/4 but the extra time and energy wasted only half filling isn't good either FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Always do fill 100% up. Get almost a 600 mile range...would love to see that being capable in a TDV6 on a 85 litre tank. |

I've always thought of it like that, it's about the weight of a passenger. |

Always fill mine every time - For me, it's just not worth the hassle of stopping more frequently. |

Always fill to the brim then run it down to the wire (20 miles range or less) so doesn't affect mpg. Might get the odd point increase if I only ever filled halfway but life is too short.... .
