MPG
Just back from a 1,048.9 miles trip to The Highlands with the Patriot Roof Rack and the tent in place.

70mph max but averaged 65mph.

44.63 gallons of fuel used.

23.5 mpg

The best was 25mpg and the worst 21.56 on the way back into the wind.

Have taken the tent off for the Winter now so we'll see what difference it makes.

Before having the tent and rack on I got 29-31MPG.

Land Rover Owner's, ruining Defenders since 1948 lol Mr. Green

Interesting, I would not have thought the roof rack would make that much difference?

I'm averaging just over 27mpg, but have not (as yet) had a tank just used for unladen long runs (i.e. optimal conditions). The last few tanks I have used the trailer, been on short distances, and also sea kayaks on the roof. The MPG has not varied that much (not as much as yours anyway!

been doing a lot of A road and motorway use....bong and orange light at 457miles filled up at 480miles - equated to 32mpg.

although I'm sure alot of you will think thats great I'm still convinced there should be more considering my driving style (for the most part).

for those interested that was 67.75 ltr (£100.20). what I really can't understand though is.....its a 65 ltr tank isn't it Shocked

The fuel tank capacity is 75 litres for a 110/130 and 60 litres for a 90. Then you have the filler pipe volume as well on top of that, though most of that will leak out the tank breather if it hasn't been repositioned.

damn ! I knew there must be a bit more to come.....

Embarassed

found out my front tyres were only at 20psi ! and rear about 30psi.....

no idea how thats happened. I'm sure its not been back to the dealers since I checked them last (so either I was dumb enough to put so little in or they're all loosing an equal(ish) amount of air Confused
