I have had better than that out of my TDv8, but only once - it's just too tempting to welly it all the time in Sport mode! Regularly got more than 30 out of my TDv6SE on the run from Stirling to Southampton but only rarely cracked 34mpg, maybe if I had turned off the climate and electric toys I might have got better but the climate stay set at 20 on my cars and never gets turned off and only on very cold days do I turn it higher! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The computer is only approximate anyway - mine shows a stable 27.5 MPG in and out of West London but measuring the fuel put into the tank shows 26MPG. And there can be 1 or 2 miles difference between the trip meter and the main Odometer as well over a tank full of petrol from full to empty. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit

be carefull about posting such pics, the speed limit is 70mph on motorways... you have just shown your self to be breaking the law and you have have stated that you took the picture while using your mobile phone while driving.

Just completed a round trip of 720 mile 90% motorway at over 75mph and have an Av MPG of 30.6 with the air con on all the way

I remember Kam posting a pic way back in the early days of the forums of his RRS showing 35mpg run from the M6 Toll down to London.

What you mean this picture mate?

Not quite 35mpg.. but back in nov 05.. i think this was the record!?
I was proving a point to my dad.. basically, were on a 'family' trip and he filled the range up, he didn't like the range very much when i first got it.. and said it was a gas guzzler, he put i think £50 of juice in it.

I drove from Solihull - Guildford and then to watford, exiting watford i had a range of around 86 miles and a fuel range of 60 miles if i remember right. So basically i drove with light toes all the way back up the M40.. got back into solihull to the first petrol pump (on fumes!!).. and managed to get this reading.. nearly fell asleep whilst doing this, driving at 56 mph is hardly envigorating late at night on an open empty road!

Yes mate be careful of that picture this is a public forum. Plenty of coppers about..

I used to get average of 19mpg round town, and normal mpg was 26 ish on the motorway if i remember right, had mine from around 4k miles to 11k miles. It just got faster not less thirstier over time. I regularly drive my sisters family D3 and RR Sports the later sports seem better, the D3 was worse when i drove it back from London recently.
