Yeah I get 25 avg. Shortish runs into town 8 miles or so. Not had it do longish runs yet though I suspect it would be a push to get to 30 on any roads around here.  2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

33.5 is my record but that was on the dash liar machine readout  Visitor from fullfatrr.com
* GONE. 2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Now being piloted by RRSTDV8
* GONE: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* Current. 1974 Lightweight 2.25L petrol. Old skool

The only true mpg measurement is brim to brim measurements taken over a period. Current Merc GLE 3.5d 2016 model, 2011 RRS HSE standard
Previous 2012 FL2 liked but boot too small
Previous to LR's 3 x Merc E320 estates - fantastic load carriers and long distance cruisers, ultra reliable. Only changed as needed a 4x4 high tow vehicle. Did have a 1955 early LR drop down windscreen and fuel tank under the drivers seat; again very reliable and super rugged.

The best I've had was 30 on the lieometer at a steady 70 on the French toll roads.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

Managed 28.5mpg today on a 140 mile round trip to Cwmcarn in Wales for a day of MTB'ing as refuelled last night. Generally driving at 70-75 on the M4, dead quiet and great weather and only accelerating hard once... from the Severn Bridge toll  2010 TDV8...

40.2 for my SDv6 this afternoon, that's from cold and on a 21 mile trip across the Trossachs in Central Scotland, so up hill and down dale and twisty back roads.......... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Always get around 32mpg on a motorway journey.

Why on earth would you do 70 on a French toll road? That's pedal to the metal territory!  2006 Range Rover Sport 4.2 s/c with Arden bodykit
