jloc Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi Folks, Going to be in the market for a pickup later in the year so just starting to do a bit of research. Thought it might be a good starting point to find out actual fuel running costs for different vehicles rather than manufacturers stated costs. Currently own Freelander 1 - TD4 Auto Diesel 2004 Last fill £78 and getting around 400 miles per tank so costing me 19.5p per mile on day to day use Anyone else up for putting some figures up??? Cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 My Isuzu D-max does 30 mpg on its winter tyres and 36 on the standard Bridgestones that it came with. Going to be taking the winter tyres off very soon. It will do 40000 miles on a set of tyres. If you are registered for vat you may be able to get a 20% rebate on the price of fuel, which beats chasing around for a few pence better price per litre. I am doing 25000+ per year. Brilliant vehicle to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 HonestJohn has a database of 'real' consumption figures based on user feedback: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ Might be worth using this data in the mix. It's a pretty good website with regards to buying 2nd hand vehicles too as he includes any known issues or recall information for particular models.

Albert 888 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 300tdi disco £100 to fill and 400-450 miles to empty think its doing around 27mpg on combined use. Pumps wound up and mid box and cat are removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfolio Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 2013 Ford Ranger 3.2 Manual First 5500 miles on the clock and, I've had an average return of 27mpg. On a long motorway run, if I hold it steady at 60mph and, feather the throttle, I can tease out up to 34mpg. Once I take it up to 70 or, more that comes crashing down and, a more realistic motorway cruising mpg is probably around the 24-25mpg mark. It really hits you in the wallet if you try to push this six foot tall six foot wide lump around too quickly - a small increase in speed is quickly reflected in the mpg stats.

It's a pretty good website with regards to buying 2nd hand vehicles too as he includes any known issues or recall information for particular models. That list is pretty accurate I'd say judging by some of the cars I have direct experience of but tempted to eat my hat if a 2013 Range Rover TDV6 does 39.4 mpg.
