My dash is telling me i am getting 17-18 around town and

22 on the motorway and thats at around 65mph

I am starting to think there could be a problem,,, any ideas?

Thats not far off L/R estimates, so i wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you didn't buy your TDV8 for fuel economy

Around town it's never going to be spectacular but I'd expect you to get more that 22 in the motorway, especially at 65?

I can sit quite happily at a smidge over 77 And still return 24, at 65 it'll climb to 26 and once I even got to 30 . RRS gone

36mpg @ 65/75mph, from wigan to Glasgow  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

^^^^^ Was it only firing on six cylinders Or was you being towed

the wife was driving, as i had just finished nights, i managed 26mpg on the way back  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

I get about 20 mpg as an average around town and 28 @ 70ish out of town. For standard map take 1-2 mpg off that and you get what Land Rover says. I know cruise control takes more than me driving. I also get 22 mpg towing 28 ft caravan.
On my TDV6 I always got 2-3 mpg more after remap.
Worth checking rear callipers aren't siezed, that is what caused my average to drop, and went back to normal after issue sorted. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Thanks for the replies,

Just to mention i have noise from the EGR vavles when i turn off the engine,,, Sqeek,Sqeek,Sqeek for about 5 seconds

From what i have read this is normal right??

Yeah, they make a buzzing noise for a few seconds after the engine is turned off.

My TDV8 gives me about 18-20mpg in local driving and about 26-28mpg "on a run". That's an unmapped engine. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
