300tdi MPG!
Range Rover Blues:
Lordy, 29 MPG towing and it sounds like you're conplaining!
One thing for the folks with big tyres to bear in mind, 235/85s are baout 10% bigger than 235/70 so you need to increase your MPG accordingly because the odometer doesn't run as fast ;)

That's amazing - I wish mine got near that.

Ditto. Mine does about 19mpg towing and NEVER hits 29mpg solo. Do you have extra streemline bits bolted on or a little KA with the disco and green badge stuck on it instead of the ford one?? :lol:
Please tell me your secret.
Range Rover Blues:
It's probably helped by the car being standard and a very careful driving style. IIRC he cruises at around 55mph and has a nice steady drive to work.
