Remarkable mate!

I cannot seem to get more than 25 mpg out of mine... and that was on a 180 mile all motorway trip at 60 mph last weekend...

Yes, I was in 6th BTW!

Only 1800 miles on the clock however... maybe things will improve as she 'loosens up'!!! YOLO... You Only Live Once...

just to let you know 500+ miles on a tank is possible although alot of patience is necessary.
492.3 miles and bong ! - red light.

now done over 500 and will probably be at 505 - 515 by the time I get to fill up!
thats 36 mpg, pretty poor by todays standards / average car but for the 110 that aint bad. thats without 2 stroke but on a 35% (ish) mix of bio and some diesel redex.

if only my engine was consistant I sure I could get more out of it.

when I say consisant I still think the EGR or something has an intermittent issue - I've been promising to buy a new MAF sensor to see if that helps but alas. anyone know the cost of these (Pete) ?


i am sorry cat...but you need to get out more Rolling with laughter

I'll join on the 500-club with the standard 90, filled yesterday after 503 and the one before was 508 - ain't fun driving that way though. Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.

When driving like Miss Daisy I can get as much up as 41 mpg(UK) on straight road, but average now stable at 35 mpg(UK). I got the impression that some have mistaken US for UK gallons when calculating ... Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.

Let's see if I have some money left to fit a 100+ liter tank under the 130 and tell Mr. Caterham how many miles I can get on a tank. That will shut him up! Whistle Laughing

Just read a lot of the thread and a couple of things come to mind,


1. WHY ?
2. WHY ?
3.... Well you get the idea.

As always I'll state, whatever floats your boat, horses for courses and all that, but there's so much more to life than this. Confused 3 Landrovers
