Ah but it has a ECO remap, for ECO read limit performance, so it probably only does 40 mph flat out, Rick:rolleyes::doh

Well its parked near beach so perhaps its one of the light weight ones with the floor rotted out

Either he thinks there is 10L to a gallon or it's LR mpg & it spends most of it's time on the back of a low loader:lol:lol:lol Someone will get a bit of a shock the first time they check the mpg if they buy if from this honest seller:doh

[firebobby]

600 miles for £70 worth of fuel, maybe he has a time machine and gets his fuel back in the 70's :augie

The best i have got out of mines is 40 mpg from edinburgh to inverness sat at 50 mph all way long journey that was i normally get 35 mpg which im happy with especially running 235 mud tyres.

[Lazy-Ferret]

I think he was actually referring to it's use of engine oil... it uses 4 1/2 litres of engine oil on a 600 mile run..

[bry]

Too much Ganja perhaps..

[Sweety]

Oh the guy has joined one of the T2 FB pages & insisted it does 60+:lol:lol:doh

[johnb5177]

I think I`m very grateful to get 32 ish mpg at 70mph on the peage....:bow

He wrote a really shirty message didnt he :clap :lol

You'll have noticed his secret then run 235/70R16's on the front & 265/70R16's on the rear when he's using 4WD off road:doh transfer box going to love that:augie

Don't even let me get started on that! :doh :lol

Can't believe he's still sticking to his guns on the 60+mpg - have any of you looked at the Eco Chip website? They only claim up to 20% better fuel economy, not the 100%+ that guy thinks he has :rolleyes:

You Terrano drivers are living a life of luxury. Get a 'trol and really make friends with you local filling station. 18mpg around town and goes up to 21 on a long, gentle run.

But we don't run them to save money, we run them to intimidate all the other road users. :naughty :augie

That's good MPG try owning a 4L V8 18 on a run sticking to 55, around town was about13-14mpg & when I had some fun in it I got a lovely 4mpg:doh

Blimey my Daf 2800 hauling gross 32 tones at 60 MPH would return 6 mpg but if I took it steady could get 8 out of it, Rick

[makeitfit]

Trol runs a treat on bio , so at 80p a litre I equate that to aboutn40 mpg :D
I'm happy with that :naughty

The 33 ton MAN water tanker that I sometimes drive at work, will return anything from 6 MPG to 13 MPG....glad I don't have to pay for the fuel... Mrs loves the Nectar points though :thumb2

The trol I want is the old skool 4.2, was told it will run on pretty much anything :lol

I might look into bio perhaps :nenau early days yet.

I wonder if his speedometer is like my old r3mR import ? The speedometer cluster was fitted with an m.p.h. display face but the oddometer was in Km.

That would make his claimed 60 m.p.g more like 38 m.p.g. if he was unaware ? This does not fit with his claimed £70 cost of fuel for 600 miles thoughthough.
That works out in fact at 48.3 m.p.g. if he is paying £1.239 for his diesel so his maths is a bit dodgy.

Not quite right either Macabethiel :augie
£70 divide by £1.239 = 56.5 litres used, which iss 12.43 gallons.
So his claimed 600 miles divided by 12.43 galls = 48.27 M.P.G.
I'd say that's possible if you drive like Miss Daisy but you'd get nicked doing 55mph on the m/way :doh
It would be more plausible if he'd enlighten us about the remap etc :o

OK so you say 48.27 mpg and mine was to nearest tenth of a decimal point at 48.30 !!

OOPS sorry mate, I miss read your post :doh I picked up on the 38mpg I think :o
I'll get myself another coffee on the way to the naughty step :)

Totally forgiven just have the coffee, unlike fuel retailers who can price items in a currency denomination that does not exist.
I have not seen a coin worth 0.9 pence yet they are allowed to price stuff at 1.239 per litre !

So how much can I expect from my t2 realistically. I have just filled it up to the brim and reset odometer, I have been towing with it so good mix of driving
:nenau do you think 80mpg is achievable.
Think I will be really shocked :eek: if its as much as 30mpg.
