Fuel economy
Reaper:
A discovery 200tdi tank has a capacity of 88 litres. returning 500 miles to a tank would work out at around 28.4 miles to the gallon, which if driving mixed motorway/town would be about right me thinks :?: :lol:
On a run my 200tdi gets about 30-32 mpg :lol:
thermidorthelobster:
I clocked my TD5 without the roof rack on, earlier in the week, at 26mph - not great but it does have bigger tyres and a chip. I was going to clock it on a pure motorway run, but the bloody Esso pump would only give me 65l as they apparently don't trust their customers to pay for any more!
seph234:
i get about 400 miles out of my tank but ive got muds on and rock sliders guards etc :D
ep90:
Worked it out accurately, comes to 28.5 mpg
Full tank was 74 litres = 16.3 gallons
mpg = 465 miles / 16.3 gallons = 28.5mpg
still not bad with the roofbox on. :D
barmiebrumie:
I have a td5 auto (sorry swmbo has), if i drive it i can get upto 25per gallon :lol: if swmbo drive's it lucky to get 18per gallon :cry: , foot flat to the floor & go,
john.
