2005 Range Rover Autobiography Td6 Zambezi Silver
Range rover fuel computer...

How accurate is the mgp fuel computer as did a 200 mile round trip today, mainly motorway sat at 70, bit stop / start on way home as rush hour traffic averaged 22.9mpg in the supercharged according to the computer, if that's correct then I'm very pleased. Reset the computer just as I left by the way.

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

According to my info and experience at least 10% of the actual consumption. In my case the computer was more positive than real life but since I don't pay for the fuel, don't really care Wink MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Fill the tank to the brim and take a note of the mileage (A) Drive around then brim the tank and keep note of litres used (B) to fill next take note of the mileage (C)

Subtract (A) from (C) = miles covered = (D)
Divide (B) by 4.546 and take note of answer (E)
Divide (D) by (E) = your fuel consumption

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged Supercharged Java Black

My computer hits 20+ on the motorway quite often, a bit of spirited town driving soon sorts that out though ....

Wales 2003 Range Rover SE Td6 Zambezi Silver

I find it pretty accurate. I did about 1000 miles with brimmed tanks and the computer showed aprox 26mpg when my actual paper calculations showed aprox 25mpg. I have done similar on a coupe of occasions with similar results. So, my conclusion is that it's slightly optimistic but fairly accurate. No longer FF owner but still interested.

My OBC has been spot on when compared to fuelly mpg for the last three fills.

Filled up tonight, did 20 miles at mixed speed limits and got up to 29 mpg (sawed right foot off and replaced with bunch of feathers) Smile .
