I’ve never really thought about how much fuel my l322 uses however out of interest I put on the mpg gauge and it’s reading 24 average (max of 30 when taking it steady). I can get about 450 miles to a tank. Had a quick search on here and it seems I should be getting more out of the fuel than this.

Any obvious or common issues? Zero error codes.

I’ll be doing a run up to Derbyshire this weekend so will monitor 1995 4.6 v8, green/tan (long gone)

I’m consistently getting around the 30mpg mark, although mostly longer journeys and generally light right foot.

I get about 560 miles to a tankful 70 percent bypass and 30 percent around town using V Power diesel less if I have to use supermarket fuel 23/24 mpg towing the1.8 ton tin tent.

I’m getting 29.5-31.1 just being out and about. Yes I give it the beans sometimes and I usually drive at about 60-70mph
Compared to my TD5 it’s brilliant Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

@OP. your consumption is bang on. I get 25 avge with a mix of mainly town and some motorway/dual carriageway.

However drove 350 miles to Cornwall @ 75mph and back and got an avge of 30.6mpg but mostly motorway/DC. when I filled up it gave me 500 miles range. Normally it shows 460 range.

Back to 24 mpg again now

So today I was thinking about this question as I was travelling to collect my car after having a replacement fuel sender fitted under warranty.
After collecting the car I brimmed the tank and drove 110 miles in mixed Friday afternoon before bank holiday traffic. I reset the counters when I filled the tank.

I then brimmed the tank again, which was 17 litres bang on, and the car was reporting 35.3mpg. A quick calculation makes that an actual 29.4mpg (or for our cousins across the pond 24.5 US mpg)

Not scientific, only one run, and a few factors to consider… but something for you to compare against.

Cheers all. The long run is postponed to next week so will report back after that

I had to do a 310 mile round trip this week. The first trip longer than 20 miles in a year !

The last long trip I did showed 32 mpg average. This weeks trip showed 35.4 mpg average so well pleased with that.

My normal to and fro work trip of 6 miles is normally about 25/26 mpg.

All quite marvellous really considering the weight of the vehicle.

Not really done many serious long journeys yet. We have been up to Islay. I think we only got 27mpg. But the wife was driving !

We are taking a trip to Javea next week via Portsmouth-Santander. I will report my findings!

Okay. Usually heavy UK traffic, stop-start, lots of 50mph roadworks down to Portsmouth. Docked in Santander and did the first trip before re-fuelling in Haro. To be fair, the car was heavily loaded. It’s also a lot of hill climbing up to Haro.

Update - range increased from circa 400-550 - saw a cable unplugged which had an exhaust sensor at the other end. Mist have been over fueling  1995 4.6 v8, green/tan (long gone)
