fat_jay Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 When we move in the next few weeks we will need to run 2 cars as we will be "in the sticks" I would like another 4x4 having previously owned an old lwb vitara 1.6 which was brilliant and a grand vitara 2.6 which was also very good but very thirsty! Only looking to spend about £3000 max and would like to see a reasonable return MPG wise as it will need to do the odd 50 mile round trip to work and back. What kind of returns do you fellas get and on what vehicles? Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_jay Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Had thought about a rav, it won't need to do any "proper" off roading, so maybe a softroader would be a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Had thought about a rav, it won't need to do any "proper" off roading, so maybe a softroader would be a better option. with your budget definitely, either a rav or an x trail will get you the mix of economy and still be able to do farm tracks and a little rough. My L200 does 32 or thereabouts my other halfs rav 36-40 but she does drive it like she stole it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Disco TD5 auto, that's been remapped. Around 25mpg but will creep up to around the 28mpg mark if on a long motorway run at 70 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Some trip computers are good, some just lie!! I have a Seat Altea FR 170BHP diesel, Went on a run to Risley (down south) Brimmed it before leaving and got there, trip said I was getting 45mpg, Didn't believe it so brimmed it again and worked the numbers, Real figure was 54mpg which is more realistic, Used to reset the comp every time I put diesel in, After that I now don't use it. As an aside, I've had 2 xtrails, 112bhp & 136bhp 112 did 35ish round the doors and 45ish on a run 136 did 29ish and 39ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
