What M.P.G. do you get from your 4x4?

[swiss.tony]

Range Rover Classic 3.9 V8.

 

10mpg on road. 6 - 8 offroad.

nice hope you have shares in BP LOL

[midge]

renault rx4 permanant 4 wheel drive get between 40 to 48 mpg depending what speed i am doing

[Billy.]

Even though I'm a bit of a boy racer, I clocked 25 MPG in the Landy the other day, which I am truly amazed at. Which must mean I can get 35+ if I'm sensible, but I'm not!

[UKPoacher]

on that point, what about petrol cars? :look:

 

 

I was getting 25mpg out of my friend's Mitsubishi RVR SUV type bus out in Cyprus driving a mixture of road and very rough tracks. On purely road journeys sit would easily top 30mpg and that's with a blown EVO engine, auto box, full time 4WD, limited slip diffs and a 0 - 60 time that would leave an Imprezza trailing in its wake.

discovery 3.9v8

I usually drive a Freelander 2 tdi diesel manual, but was in a little accident (17 year old hit the front of my car, whilst I was stationary). Driving around I usually got 28-30mpg. The same engine in an automatic only gives about 25mpg.

 

On a motorway with sensible driving I can cruise over 40mpg!

[SniperR10]

Grand cherokee V8 4.7litre, if i worried about mpg i wouldnt own it,

 

But for anyone who is interested i get between 150 to 200 miles on £40 of LPG (65 litres), the 200miles was towing a 1100kg caravan whilst going away a few weeks ago. but around town 150/170 miles max.

[al4x]

first tank through my newer L200 and 30 mpg on the button, mix of on and off road about 4 evenings lamping in that so not too shabby

[Raja Clavata]

Used to think my Disco 3 was a bit juicy - had a petrol DSG SMAX for just over a week now and it's currently doing ~22mpg indicated (which is probably sub 20 in reality). Lovely motor but blimey. Can't order a replacement until it's done 3000miles - if anyone wants to borrow it for a trip (longer the better) let me know!?

[al4x]

I could probably put a driver in it and clock that up in a week though at that mpg you'd need to supply the fuel as well

[RC45]

I did get 34mpg on a run in my disco 1, 300 tdi. Not sure what it does round the doors.

I know it's illegal to clock a motor's mileage down but is it also illegal to clock it up? I have the means to write any odo value I want into the cluster as long as it's bigger than the current value

[mag357]

Have Pajero 2.8 Turbo SWB Auto and get 22/23 MPG, Taken the back seats out and get all my gear in.

[al4x]

500 miles over the weekend, mostly motorway and crawling round a mountain side off road in 4wd and the L200 did 29 to the gallon 3 people a weekends kit 2 dogs really well loaded so rather chuffed with that

depends where, if its got a lambda sensor and the leak is in front of that it can cause it to keep over fuelling

I have got a 300 TDI 1999 do around 34-38mpg Blanked off the egr and also put 500ml of 2 stroke in each time i fill up takes the morning rattle out and also a few more miles out of it

Yes it's blowing from just after the manifold, been told it's a dealer only part (going to be costly) and it is a bit thin to weld.

[PhilR]

I've done 418 miles in my TD5 auto since I bought it and it's averaged 25.14mpg. Once I've done a few more miles I'll remove the EGR, clean the gunge out of the intercooler and pipework etc and do a cat bypass, these are supposed to increase the MPG and then I'll have the ECU remapped to perk up the performance.

[Luckyshot]

Landrover Defender 300tdi on insa turbo saharas it still manages between 28-30mpg which is a mix of 40% road 60% off road.

[cocker3]

land rover defender 300tdi 1994 but with disco gearbox and the fuel pump advanced and bigger turbo so fuel con is poor 20-25 mpg and am always in a hurry to get somewhere

[dazz]

im getting around 35mpg out of my shogun pinin. but ive just bought 4 new insa turbo.dakar/desert and track of road tyres for it.so might be down to about 10mpg haha.

What a result I had this weekend. Travelled up to Nottingham (110 miles) and sat behind a few lorries on the motorway, slipstreaming them, doing around 55-60mph. (Except the speed check)

 

40MPG

 

Just got back this eve, motorway was completely empty, so I stuck to 70mph, with the exception of the average speed check between Toddington and Luton.

 

20MPG.

 

I am astounded. I saw the Mythbusters do a bit on how to save fuel by driving behind lorries, but I didn't realise I'd actually see a clear result.

 

(Obviously the fact I was driving slower will also have contributed to the fuel save, but 40MPG in a Defender is pretty good )

new style l200 used to get well in to the 30`s with road tyres then put a set of general grabber at `2s down to 24 mpg about 100 miles less to a tank full been told that the fuel chip in the ecu is **** but not sure
