What sort of Mpg return should I be getting from my 2003 Terrano 2.7 LWB.
Appreciating when pulling my 1250kg caravan I only get around 23 mpg.I have not done a proper run test without caravan,so would be interested to hear what other members are getting.I am certainly not a boy racer(although at 68 I am lasting well!!). And I do not go off road, unless of course I am pissed and I cannot see the road ahead.

Thanks in advance

Jon

well just remember...use the other lever for climbing trees on the way home from the pub, then pm me so i can make an offer on your wreck.

(sorry i am from a metric country.)

23mpg...36.8 kms
divide by
1 Gallon is 4.54 litres.
equals
8.1 kms per litre.

before i modified my LWB 2.7 eti it would get around 12 litres per 100 kms. ...with out a trailer on and me driving like a touring car racer....
which works out to be 8.3 kms per litre. ...so yes you drive like a grandpa.

Hi Jon. Up to 28 mpg on my 1999

Whats the price of.cooking oil compaired to diesel in France?

Might be worth thinking mp£„ not mpg.

On a run I often get 31mpg but have managed just under 33mpg once

mixed I norm get 28-29mpg

Even in my TD when I first had it, used to record the mileage and it regularly achieved 30 , rarely more.

Mostly 28-30 mpg is about right, but exceed 65 and forget that.
70 starts to really kill the mpg.

As Rustic says. Keep revs down below 2500 and you'll get 30.

Between 1500 and 2000 is best,
