Here is a screen shot of my online fuel record at Fuelly.com - tyres were changed prior to the 7th August refuelling so basis 1 refill my consumption is improved slightly on the Duratracs.
I’ll probably be refuelling during the week as I have a laning day coming up on 6th Sept which is very local but around 10 miles of it will be low ratio Unless the weather is wet when more low box will be needed. Interestingly now we are getting cooler mornings here of late my dash computer is regularly showing my regular trip to town is consuming even less fuel as I’m getting 35-37mpg behind all the tractors and caravans all sticking to 50-55 mph on the main road I use.

I don’t commute and in the current tank I have done one trip right into the centre of Glasgow which involves quite a lot of stop/start traffic light Grand Prix stuff. I look that one up and see what it worked out at but it is reliant on the LR trip computer - something not considered to be hugely accurate.

Here are screen shots for the only trip I’ve done that in any way resembles a commuting trip, into town mid morning but returning at school coming out time (Scottish schools had just resumed full time education that week)

The vast majority of my trips are like this one, from home to the nearest supermarket, done on the Duratrac tyres. I have no complaints about the mpg which is all most the same trip in my last RRS SDv6 HSE that got around 32 all the time on the same trip but as high as 40 mpg stuck at 50 behind caravans and tractors with no opportunity to overtake

Here is the last few refuel numbers for my last RRS SDv6 3 litre HSE Dynsmic running into Continental All Season tyres

And just to show what is possible with a PHEV ruing electric mode as much as possible with a max electric range of 19 miles in real world driving in the Countryman§an PHEV.. I would have loved to refuelled on June 12 when I parted exchanged the Countryman for the Defender - I had used about 1/4 of a tank of petrol and done around 200 miles during lock down but mostly short purely electric driving to the Co-op 5 miles away in the next village. I try not to hand over cars with a full tank of fuel though.........
