Just in case Sid missed it on the other thread

936 miles this month @ 139.8 mpg - my best yet

Total cost this month £27 elec and £34.75 petrol = £61.75 vs RRS @ £180 over similar distance IIRC

How could I miss it, you have me on speed dial  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Hi Muddy,

If you include cost of electricity into MPG based on £5.19 for a gallon of fuel, your overall cost of £61.75 equates to 11.9 gallons so you are down to 'only' 78.65 MPG equivalent. - still pretty good.

The manufacturers quote great MPG figures on PHEV's but they never seem to factor in the cost of electricity  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Atlantic Grey, replaced with 2018 Frost White Outlander PHEV, can't fault em - now gone
2012 SDV6 HSE in Orkney Grey, Privacy Glass & Side Steps (notice a theme)! - Even better but now gone
2009 TDV6 HSE in Stornoway Grey, 20" alloys, Privacy Glass & Side Steps - Fantastic! but gone

Never mind the cost of Electricity Mike, wait till he comes to flog it and adds the cost of depreciation  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Yep Mike even with electric costs still pretty good

Only visiting a petrol station once a month and covering 936 miles with minimal exhaust fumes too - what's not to like

Ideally I'd like to charge using pv panels or wind turbine but right now that's not an option but hopefully one day

As long as I lose less than I lost on my last RRS which was twice the price SRE I'll not complain - well not too much  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

It has been suggested that my comparison with RRS costs are biased so I've taken a look and would like to remedy a discrepancy

I didn't take into account RRS £500 RFL/VED which means it would of cost around £220 last month compared to £61.75 for the phev - sorry if I misled anyone  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

As I understand it, purely electric vehicles have to be plugged into the mains for re charging. Obvious really. What I can't understand is that these vehicles are primarily for city/town use, however as I see it, there are an awful lot of people living in towns/cities who do not have off road parking, & indeed some of these people can't even park close to their houses. In view of this are we to witness our streets littered with mains cables as the owners connect their cars to the mains supply for re charging.
Just a thought. current 2015 hse dynamic, grey.

Nothing to report SRE - not filled up yet since last post

I did give it a valet inside and out weekend so it looks like new again and back on summer tyres so just waiting for some snow  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Pko - purely electric vehicles have sufficient range that they can be charged at work or dedicated charge points out and about so you don't need to charge at home if it's not practical

Some cities are installing on street charge points for residents and visitors though to solve the problem you mention

All quiet, begs the question, are you still the proud owner of the float Or have you thought about an F-Pace  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Still enjoying the milk float and low running costs - 7 months and 7k miles now with nothing dropped off or creaking and no workshop visits

Hey Muddy
It's over 6 years since I last had an RRS so not been here. I didn't realise (from a certain other site) how POPULAR you are on here!

Popular

Some might say I'm more like a lingering bad smell

Seriously though I'm still a LR Fan - more for its Heritage than the latest models at the moment - plus I still like to keep in touch with many great owners I've chatted with over the years and share experience/knowledge

I may even be tempted back into a LR if it looks like they are listening to feedback and putting their house in order

Besides the Mitsubishi Forum is as dull as dishwater - not enough people finding faults or needing advice how to get something to work  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Muddy, what's the MPG on a long run without the battery, i.e. for example London to Leeds? Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4
