TD5 Fuel economy.....
« on: May 13, 2008, 19:20:51 »
Evening all.....

Just thinking about getting another TD5 Disco.... Just curious to see what everyone else is getting on MPG as I cant for life of me remember......  Though I know fuel encomy and landys dont mix but anything has to be better than the 20 to 25 Im getting with the 110.... p.s. its going to be up for sale....


cheers

Well, mine isn't - I get about 24 on a good day.  Before I ran 235/85s and a big roof rack, I got 30ish if I was careful.

About 20 -24 for me but I only do very short journeys on the whole. Increases a little on long journeys but I tend to have a caravan on the back then as well.

Mid 20's around town/short runs and around 30 for long runs. Tyre pressures have a big effect on fuel economy so there is an increased need to check them more regularly
